Gemma Correll's daily diaries

I love love love this blog I've just discovered, its the illustrated journal from Gemma Correll.

The humour and images are just great.

Gemma has some fun items in her Etsy shop. I was kindly given the below 'you are my favourite' print as a print last year and it has a good spot on my gallery staircase wall!

Storytime.... Little Red Riding Hood

I created this little sketch to submit to a company who needed an

illustrator for a range of storybooks.

They seemed to like it but it wasn't what they were looking for.

..though it was great to have the chance to go for something new....

a change from the fashion and greetings world.

I really loved creating this.

Jan Pienkowski

Do you remember Meg and Mog!? I'd forgotten about this Little Monsters pop up book too!

Thanks to a recommendation from another blog (I wish I could remember which one!)

I have just listened to Desert Island Discs with the Meg and Mog illustrator Jan Pienkowski, a nice little something to listen to as I work listen here if you fancy it.

He's silhouette work looks so intricate compared to his childrens illustrations, is interesting to see.

Toshiyuki Fukuda

What a find! I absolutely love the work by this artist, Toshiyuki Fukuda.

I'd not heard of this artist before until I found an interview with him on a website that I now can't find! which is quite frustrating as I'd like to know more about him.

I do know that Toshiyuki is from Japan and has had his artwork published on a variety of products from cards to calendars, books to film posters. See here

If anyone has anymore info I'd love to hear it....and to buy one of his prints!

I've been having a sort out over the bank holiday weekend and

found this oldies of mine that I'd forgotten how much I like!
