Artist Spotlight: Jenny Meilihove

Artwork by Jenny Meilihove

Jenny Meilihove is a Russian born illustrator living in Jerusalem whose work is both adorably quirky and bright. Her equally adorable website can be found here and an Etsy shop here where you can find originals and prints alike. I especially adore her rich watercolors. Even her workspace (see the last picture) is so fun and creativity inducing. This children's book she's illustrated looks so fantastical... any translators?

If you like any of the pictures you see, be sure to click on the links below - they'll take you to Jenny's website where there are plenty more (many of which I had hoped to post but were too big to do them justice here).

Artist Spotlight: Marc Johns

"The Mustaches Chased Him Zealously" 

For his sleek, understated drawings, clever concepts, and generally melancholy oddness, Marc Johns is absolutely my favorite illustrator. I'm a proud owner of this "Beard Bird" print (thanks to my wonderful boyfriend), and I hope to have at least a few more to keep him company in my next apartment. For now, here's a smattering of my favorite of Johns's drawings. Like what you see? You're in luck! A book of Marc's work, titled Serious Drawings, will be available starting May 15. Find more information on Amazon.com. 

All of the photos found here come from the Marc Johns website where you can check out all of his work (including post it note art), purchase your own print, or learn more about the man himself.
