I am sure you have read about Wayne Pate on other blogs, if you have not then you will be glad for today's post. Wayne Pate is an American Illustrator who creates retro inspired prints with whimsy and simpleness. I am loving how the moon is laying on the head of the owl in the "Family of Hoots". Stop by Wayne's store to view more of his work which are pretty affordable.

Suzy Taylor: Papercut






Suzy Taylor is a papercutting artist presently living in North London. Her work is mainly influenced by American and European folk art and reflects themes of nature, usually birds. The shown images are of commissioned owls papercut that she recently finished for a client and shared the progress on her blog. It's kind of surprising how a plain sheet of paper can be turned into something this stunning and delicate! Isn't it?

Sophie Woodrow





Sophie Woodrow was born in Bristol who was drawn to working with clay from an early age. She graduated from Falmouth College of Art with a BA in Studio Ceramics and ever since creating delicate porcelain sculptures of otherwordly creatures "inspired by the contact point between the natural world and human culture."

"The Owl, is a piece that evokes an enchanting sensation, the emptiness of the sculpture combine with the white, giving a peculiar look and a sense of frivolity, one can’t stop thinking that in any moment the bird will come alive, It is a curious feeling  being observed by sculpture with no eyes and feeling the intensity of the look. Only textures and shapes remind one of the human touches in it. It is truly an extraordinary collection." - Art in Liverpool
