Colorful world

Life should be full of color. I think it's best.

Instant inspiration

As soon as I click in on Papya Art, I knew I liked it. Papya Art was founded by a mother/daughter team. I love their credo:

CREATIVE ABANDON
Creative Abandon is our credo. To us it means that we ultimately answer to our creative impulses. We believe in a no apologies policy of artistic & manufacturing experimentation. We will always make paper giveables AND we may just throw a shower curtain into the mix at any time! So be alert. PAPAYA! is a place for exploring, discovering, and enjoying a myriad of goods. It is our goal that you be just as surprised and delighted as we are. It also means we won’t be making anything just because “it sells”. Our promise to you is that everything we make - we love.

So here's a splurge, mostly giclee prints from their decor department, but I am also throwing in two pictures of their wrapping paper.

Fine Artist - Miss Joey Holder

Watch this video interview from YouTube. And see her portfolio at Absolute Arts.

Wonderful, wonderful!

I love this dining room, with its table, chairs and chandelier. And that gorgeous painting! And the bedroom – such wonderful colors and details!! design*sponge

Illustina

Illustina is a norwegian illustrator. I like her naïve style. I am very interested in portraits, so I am showing two of hers here. Wonderful!

Watercolor delight!

Watercolor and drawing is fun. Check out illustrator Toril Bækmark's work! Beautiful and elegant, with wonderful colors.

Lovely drawings & watercolor from Sweden

Swedish Nina Johansson teaches art and computer graphics. She post her drawings on her blog. And on her website you can even browse her entire sketchbooks. She carries with her wherever she goes, and once they are full of drawings and watercolor, she publishes them for you to enjoy!

Owl and cat

These owl and cat collages are so cool. Crafted by danish designer Sidsel Gaustadnes at Spagat. Love it!

Nathan Fowkes Art

Nathan Fowkes is a Visual developement Artist at DreamWorks. He says: "My day job is at DreamWorks woking in photoshop so I spend as much time as I can outside or at home in the studio sketching with traditional media."
– Great inspiration!

Illustrator John Hendrix

I was in the virtual gallery at www.iamny.org, where I read John Hendrix' notes from their conference. His notebook is a true inspiration. Hendrix seems so focused in his expression and style.
