Gosia Herba

 

We will probably take a look at the works of Polish illustrator, Gosia Herba, again but today we start with her sketches.  The graphic designer and comic artist lives in Wroclaw, a city in southwest Poland.  She is influenced by 10th century modern art, Picasso and Matisse which are evident in much of her compositions.

You can see more of her work on her website, Instagram and Behance.  Some of her prints can be purchased in her Etsy shop.

Lily Moon

We love sketchbooks and journals here at Cari Mateo and are always on the lookout for unusual designs. Found these particular ones on Etsy and just had to post them. They are the creations of Cyprus-based artist functioning under the business name, Lily Moon. They are blank hand-bound notebooks with different themes and adorned with various illustrations. The artist also does a great job of packaging her sold items. Her love of people, painting, books and nature is evident in her work. Here”s a small insight on the artist from Indie Pretty Perfect blog:

“I’m inspired by human emotions, by books or strange stories, by my travels and by the little things in life that are overlooked… I like holding an imaginary magnifying glass over them and wonder at their beauty!”

“I didn’t “intend” for it to be a business. I just wanted to share the images and stories with other people. I was very lucky to find Etsy and join a community that embraced my little world.”

You can follow the artist on Facebook and on Etsy.
