New Work by Jennifer Davis

'Owls'

'Rabbit'

'Pig'

'Lion'

'Oh my dog'

You all know how much I admire Jennifer Davis's work. These are some new paintings by her that I came across through her online store, and I am sure you would love them too! These whimsical characters seem to be from another planet playing a role in a story. You could hang them together to create a unique space that will be a great conversation starter.

Slastidolls by Inna

Inna is a very talented artist based in Czech Republic who creates hand embroidered toys. She uses natural fabrics like linen, cotton and felt in making of her lovely creatures. The owl and deer sown above are from the series "Friends from the forest" and the bird, mouse and dog are from "Luna and friends" series. I love how she uses different fabrics for creating different body parts of the animals - linen is generally used to make the body, and plain or polka dot fabric for the feet or horns. At the end, careful and delicate hand embroidery stitches give the facial features to the characters and bring them to life. 

Inna has an online store under the name of Slastidolls where she sells her handmade toys, dolls and other hand-embroidered accessories.

Bloody Kirka: Psychedelic Art

The Watchers

Wanderlust

Print Star of Wander

Triplet

La Machine

Diela Maharanie also known as Bloody Kirka is an illustrator based in Jakarta, Indonesia. Growing up she learnt karate, ballet, math, and journalism but she always felt that something was missing in her life, her true calling. At that moment she decided to start her career as a professional illustrator, for which she let her mind to wander to places that you couldn't imagine. Her art depicted animals, human figures, imaginative characters from another world with a hint of Aztec vibe.

Diela describes her art "as an idiosyncratic colors and pattern madness!" That is so true. I am swooning over her art full of amazing bright colors and psychedelic patterns.
