Olenka Zahorodnyk I

Long-legged pigeons by Ukranian illustrator Olenka Zahorondnyk.

JFK Turner

 JFK Turner's collections of tiny paintings remind me of the scales on a moth or butterfly wing, they are delicious fragments.  His work is on exhibition at Edinburgh's & Gallery 6 April - 1 May 2019.

"My work is concerned with the unnoticed ephemeral elements of everyday life, found objects, marks, stains and the natural effect of time. The objects I collect from the streets form the basis of my work. The paintings are not abstract - they are based on something from the real world. Anything could be subject matter - A rubber band, a screwed up piece of paper, a flap in a cardboard box. These are non-objects - just the remnants of life." JFK Turner

Climate Strike

Climate strike, school strike day. Let's hope someone hears.

Beatrice Alemagna VI

Beatrice Alemanga's illustrations for  'Harold Snipperpot's Best Disaster Ever' are a delicious, rich, chaotic soup of laughs. It is the story of a very upright Parisian family who live in an impeccable palace  Harold is about to be 7 and has never had a Birthday Party, parents relent and call up Mr Ponzio, the local problem solver . . .

Piet Grobler

'Kiss me quick and go my honey' by Piet Grobler. Piet is a South African who has relocated to the Uk and worked as a lecturer at Cambridge Anglia Ruskin amongst other universities.

Yeji Yun IV

My second feature of Yeji Yun in a week, I do love this artist's use of colour and strange zine like books on surreal subjects. This one is called 'On the rocks' 

工作联系

Delicate illustrations telling the story of a stray dog by 工作联系 Xiao Yuhuiguomin.

Sandra Rivola I

A thoughtful silent book by Sandra Rivola, which I interpret as being about the beasts of loneliness, but maybe you have a different story to tell from these images? That is the beauty of a silent book, the many stories, and interpretations it generates.

Sonja Danowski I

Sonja Danowski creates amazingly detailed almost photorealistic illustrations with a reflective often melancholic atmosphere.

Andrew Aranyshev

Andrew Aranyshev (born 1956) has a wonderful sense of colour and a gentle cubist/ expressionist style, his pictures make me happy.

Ekaterina Khlebnikova

Beautiful mixed media illustrations by Ekaterina Khlebnikova. for 'If you listen to... ' written by Anna Scherbina. In the city, Petya has to run to keep up with his parents and so he is glad when his grandmother comes and the pace of life slows down so he can appreciate all the small joys in life and, if you walk slowly enough, you can hear the stones on the beach tell stories.

Yeji Yun III

Yeji Yun has made a lovely cat zine based on the exploits of her cat Mamoo
