Bear Head

I found this print by Rob Bridges on etsy quite a while ago. I really like it.


Recently though, I came across one by Mareike Auer on Little Paper Planes. I wonder where the connection comes in here.... I want to know.....

Laura Laine Inspiration

I've been thinking lately about reverting back to my own personal style of drawing. I remember looking through my mother's artwork when I was a kid and being completely captivated by the unrealistic and somewhat abstract long legged girls she'd drawn in her fashion illustrations. I don't think it was long after that I began adapting those long limbs to my own art. I can easily say that there was a point in time when I had to consciously decide not to draw limbs so long and lanky. But I have veered away from this I guess with a bit of time, and I am looking forward to returning and embracing this style again.
Catching a glimpse of Laura Laine's artwork is exactly the kind of thing I needed to inspire me.
