We are absolutely delighted to introduce a new, upcoming Red Cap artist to you. A bit different from our usual artists, is an artist of words. A woman connected with herself. And through her words, she offers us the inspiration to take a moment of pause.
Her point of view is rich and fluid, and we can’t wait to share more with you. Photo and leaf by An author of three books, The Collected (2010), Go Ahead & Like It (2014) and The Edge of The Continent Volume One (2018), Jacqueline has also been featured in some of the greats, such as The New York Times, The Atlantic, Man Repeller and more. Her accolades are so impressive, including an honor by Michelle Obama at the White House for her work as a Turnaround Artist! She is known for her therapeutic poetry compositions on her manual typewriter (see below) which she composes on the spot for patrons. “A guest sits down with Jacqueline and names a subject that they would like their poem to be about, and in less than two minutes she types up a unique verse and reads it aloud”. Read more about Jacqueline or on and let her work below speak for itself. Enjoy, and we can’t wait to show you more soon.
Photo by Photo. No, we really can’t get enough of all of the awesome work our artists are doing lately. In-progress videos, photo series and sketchbook shots thrill us, to say the least. What we love most about sharing the process of art-making and illustration is that inspiration can be fluid, and allows that to be shareable. Watching something like the beautiful in-progress video of creating our “” card (below) or seeing a start-to-finish portrait by (below) can help us all learn how to be better artists, and offer motivation and community in the process.
After the fun we had, we gathered a view more to inspire. Have fun, make art, and keep the love flowing. Remember this portrait by? Here is the finished product:.
Love the caption to this photo by Anna Emilia Laitinen. Inspiration flows everywhere. Even to telemarketers: ”Hello! Do you have a few minutes?” “Well, actually I am working.” “Ok. Are you in an office?” “Oh, not really.” “Do you work at home?” “Oh, not really. I am behind my house by a lake sitting on a dock” “Oh my, did I just hear a fish jumping in the lake?!” “Oh yes, there are plenty of fish in this lake.
Just the night before last night I saw an otter swimming by, we were staring to each other’s eyes for a moment.” “Oh. Is that wind in the reed?!” “Yes, wait, I give you some sounds of the waves in the lake” “” “I have seen a beaver, a swan couple that always returns here but cannot have babies, and many other birds too. A fox is living here too and just the last days the dragonflies started to fly and glimmer in the sunshine.
A butterfly just sat on my finger.” “Oh.” “But unfortunately you cannot swim in this lake because it is poisoned by some garbage.” “Oh, I am sorry. We should take better care of the nature and not consume so much. Actually I was going to sell you something, but I do not want to anymore. After my work shift is finished I was thinking to watch a movie at home but now I think instead I should go for a walk to a forest or by a lake.” Save Save Save Save Save Save Save Save Save Save Save Save.

Check out Lizzy's new annual planner design for Little Otsu below, which can be found on their site,. Produced each year by a different artist, we are so excited to see that Lizzy is in the hot seat for 2016. “The tenth installment of the Little Otsu Annual Weekly Planner returns with all the great aspects from the previous volumes including more artwork from the wonderful London-based artist Lizzy Stewart! All the useful features you've come to expect from the Annual (undated monthly and weekly spreads, handy list pages, easy-to-use wire-o binding) are combined with the added charm of Lizzy's artwork, ranging from seaside landscapes to architecture to found objects to animals with a special emphasis this year on images from her travels.
Each weekly spread features a different drawing so there's a new experience each week to add inspiration to organization.” Plus pre-order her travel zine on her site, which will be shipping September 9th. If you can't get to Europe on your own, trust us, you will WANT to see it through the eyes of Lizzy Stewart. “32 page, full colour zine of my sketchbook kept on a 12 day trip from Vienna via Croatia to Venice. Drawings, paintings, notes and doodles.” Josie Portillo also shared some great work via her with a great illustration that highlights how Middlebury College has evolved since 1914.
Such amazing work and intricate work. Keep sharing these, Josie!
