I'm slowly surrounded by folk life. It gently sings to me in the waking hour. It fills my heart with promises of rustic cabins and a warm spot by the fire. My eyes fill with light as the sun sets and a lantern guides me through the dew covered forest.
A huge part of this inspiration is this cabin fever I've been suffering from. However the load is made a lot lighter by Grimm's Fairytales, handsome folk musicians, and the work of Becca Stadtlander.
Becca Stadtlander is an amazing artist. She recently graduated art school for illustration. She weaves a magical scene reminiscent of Folk art and Japanese prints. Her work holds a spot in my heart.
She marries colors both dark and vibrant, creating iconic imagery. Her portfolio is absolutely stunning, i dare you to go look.
Her prints are also amazingly affordable.
Oh wow, her art is so awesome! I especially like the second one, there's something very retro about it. The trees remind me of the design on my moms plates, lol.
ReplyDeleteI really like the third one. It looks just like a dream I had. Except my family's silhouettes were in the windows (turning into melty people).
ReplyDeleteIt is kinda retro. Light an airy, almost like 70s illustration.
