I thought I’d share my recent inspiration. I recently bought a book that I fell in love with in the bookstore, Uni the Unicorn, illustrated by Brigette Barrager. Both the art and the story is wonderful! And, okay – the subtitle: “A story about believing” REALLY grabbed me!! The art attracted me immediately as a technique I would love to try, which I had in front of me while creating my recent Peacock Journal piece (above).
Thankfully my husband, David Fedan, coached me on how to use the photoshop pen tool (a tool I’ve avoided for far too long). I’m thrilled! I’m finally creating the kind of artwork I’ve admired by others, like Brigette.
Just wanted to share some of the images of this lovely book to show why I love it so much. I use textures a LOT in my current surface design work at 4Walls, and really want to apply it to my illustration. I love the way textures are used in this book art.
