Love these nature and folklore inspired hand painted wooden brooches and ornaments created by Riga-based illustrator, Diana Renjina. The wooden pieces are made from birch plywood delicately painted with acrylic paint and varnish. Her main artistic focus is illustration but also wants to explore graphic and web design freelancing on a variety of projects.

“I was born in a land where we experience the use of ceramic in daily life. As a girl, I loved clay, my parents knew that a box of coloured clay to shape was more important to me than a toy. At University, my thesis in the Fine Arts Faculty was completely focused on ceramics. My inclinations have always come natural to me, they were never imposed and this represents my way of communicating with the world.†Â
Andy Westface was born and raised in Hong Kong. He majored in graphic design in a design school and was art director of a local graphic design company. He is currently a freelance graphic designer and illustrator. We love his work for the reasons he describes:
“I am a big fan of simplicity in vector art. I love the simple but clear and strong feeling so much.†“The simplicity of vector art gives people a strong sense of space. I always try to use the simplest design of character, composition, and color that can show my feeling to deliver a message. “Less is more†is true, I really agree with this.â€Â
“I always want to create a world that is full of positive power. In that world, humans and animals can have their own personality and they can pursue their own dreams.â€
