Winter is upon us and we shall look at the moon with its face in the sun and dream of spring.

Rob Dunlavey is an incredibly disciplined and prolific illustrator using a number of different styles and media. He has caught the beautiful love heart face of the barn owl in these recent studies.

Loved this bright illustration of robins in hollyhocks by the lovely Rob Dunlavey this week . . .  my Friday inspiration.

Mermaids, Bears and Rob Dunlavey

My parcel which I saved for the weekend had a friendly mermaid waving from it and a lovely 'Owl and Turn' organiser for my year. 
Thank you Rob I now feel organised and ready to go.

Huang Yongyu

This morning we have a master of Chinese painting a block printing Huang Yongyu, I love that prickle of beaks and the crane paintings reminded me of Rob Dunlavey's recent work.

Thanks Rob, he is a safe driver and made it all the way from America. It was great to see your work featured on a Book By Its Cover as I caught up on some of my favourite blogs this evening.

Crystal Cities by Rob Dunlavey

Rob's 'Crystal Cities' is a metropolis of drawings and sculptures, a cityscape of colour and pattern.

I started this post wanting to show you some of Rob Dunlavey's work, and I am, but not the works I started out wanting to show you, because I found his amazing envelope series and I love it, inventive, beautiful, funny and inspiring.
