Artists I Like #11

I have been trying to find some large scale prints similar to my buildings, so A2, and seeing how artists present them. I was trying to find some simple image searches on Google by searching "A2 fine art prints" when I saw some limited edition fashion prints. They caught my eye immediately because of the content being Disney, anyone who knows me knows I love Disney. Not only were these Disney prints but they were beautifully hand drawn fashion sketches. I've always loved fashion sketches, although I'm not particularly interested in fashion, the sketches themselves are always beautiful and creative drawings.

On top of them being drawn, coloured and styled so well they are also photographed in a setting that matched. The artist is Kelly Smith and she does even more wonderful fashion sketches beside just these prints! Sometimes you find inspiration even when you aren't looking for it.

Over the summer I bought got two new books that I really liked. One was bought as a gift for me and the other I bought myself because I wanted to add it to my collection. 

The first book is by Lauren Child. It's retelling the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears but done with photographs and 3D sets. Similar to the photos I like to do, I thought having this book would tie in well with my own work as well as Lauren being one of my inspirations. The book is also interesting because at the back it has a "behind the scenes" section in which you can see how the sets and shoot was done. It is also a collaborative book with a photographer and set designer.

The second book was bought as a gift from Rome, although it can be bought anywhere, it is the story of Alice in Wonderland. This book is an advanced pop up book, the time and effort put into this book is amazing. Every element of the book is different to the last and it features a wide range of mechanics in paper craft. It is created by Robert Sabuda with the original text from Lewis Carroll.
