Fine Detail and Bold Nature-inspired Patterns from La Scarlatte

October 7, 2015 |

As La Scarlatte illustration and design studio, Pauline Teunissen draws inspiration from the natural world. She incorporates the movement, nuances of colour, and fine details she finds into her designs. While being undeniable beautiful, the underlying foundation of strong drawing throughout her work gives Pauline’s illustrations and patterns a complimenting boldness too. Strong shapes and cutting […]

Nature in Detail and Watercolour by Vikki Chu

December 25, 2014 |

Get lost in the delicately illustrated watercolour foliage by Vikki Chu. But don’t let your guard down, there’s a host of creatures in there, and teeth and claws too! Vikki’s work is rich with detail, filling her images with glorious flora and fun fauna. We really like her inky marks, but she’s just as good with […]

Upcoming children’s book, ‘Zoom, Zoom, Zoom‘ has bustling layers packing out the pages with flora and fauna like many of Katherina Manolessou’s other illustrations.

Sarah Mazzetti Screen Printing Decorative Flora and Fauna, Teaching and Curating

October 9, 2013 |

We’re amazed at how easily all the other-worldly forms, flora and fauna seem to pop out of Sarah Mazzetti’s imagination. They have decorated a range of event posters, maybe most notably for the year’s Green Man festival, as well as editorial spreads, comics, and animation. Her passion for screen printing is apparent, not only in […]

Decorative Illustration with Interesting Palette Choices from Sarah Andreacchio

January 29, 2013 |

With such beautiful patterns and masses of exuberant drawings, it’s hard to believe that for Sarah Andreacchio, illustration hadn’t been the first choice when thinking about what route to take. After trying her hand in different creative fields, it wasn’t until she met her now husband, also an illustrator, that she knew what she wanted to […]

Blended Collage and Digital Imagery, and the Colourful Flora and Fauna of Bozka

June 29, 2012 |

Using a blend of collage and digital imagery, Bozena Rydlewska aka Bozka,  creates fantastical forms of life, filled with colour. We like the intensity created by layering so many elements together. The birds and insects found in her imagined forests are hybrids of multiple ruffles, tufts, patterns, and feathers. But, as much as they are bright […]
