Friday Five - Domestic Etch

Found heaps of cool artists in the latest Domestic Etch,
so many I'll have to come back next Friday to finish them off!
Oh that sounds deadly!

*ahem*

1) Samantha Leriche - Gionet

Samantha uses ink, markers, brush pen, poster paint, photoshop..perhaps everything to create her rad illustrations. She also manages to fit in a webcomic and makes rad films which her bio says have been screened in more than sixty festivals..prolific maker!

2) Steph Pena I knew I would like this chick when her two illustrations in the mag included mermaids but I pretty much died when I finally had a good look through her deviant page, such beautiful art...I'm quite speechless actually *gasp*

3)Jangojim

Jangojim a Belgian artist has a rad interview in Domestic Etch alongside his partner in crime, Anneke Caramin  ...you should get a copy of the mag to read it! But yes, they both make sweet, engaging and cute art!

4) lilly Piri I'm sure I've must of posted about Lilly before because she is radness to the max.  She has some amazing skills with the humble pencil and through following her blog, I discovered her amazing skills at making cute little wooden animal ornaments...Actually I always seem to fall in love with whatever she posts!

5) Andrew Kolb and with a url such as 'http://kolbisneat.com/' it's no surprise he does some super clean art!

I'm always super impressed with those artists out there produces such perfect illustrations!
Super cool :)

A Funny Request

J my little bro, loves guinea pigs and a while ago, he requested I draw him a guinea pig playing sport. He told me to google it to get the idea :P

You can google it yourself but it's basically the phenomenon of people photoshopping guinea pigs to look like they're playing sports. I decided to tackle a guinea pig playing basketball, since it's J's favourite. First needed the ever placid Vanilla to do some reference poses for me, aahh she's such a sweet easy going thing!

And I was set

The outcome...

He he

It made me giggle anyway!

J also saw this rad cardboard frame, courtesy of the lovely Heather, hanging in my apartment, it's done through a company called la la land! So the frame I made above, by J's request, is very much an inspired/copied version of the la la land one!

Talking of Lalaland, I not so recently went to the Finders Keepers market down in Brisbane which was fun and picked up these rad mini art prints from the la la land table

I also got to met the wonderfully talented Lauren Carney, who just recently blogged about her finders keepers day. She super pretty and does super awesome art and I think I gushed just a little too much! oops

P.S I totally forgot to blog about the recent guinea pig updates...must do, it's a cute surprise!
