Boris Artzybasheff ~ 1899 - 1965
Boris Artzybasheff
The Ukraine born New Yorker, captures my imagination in a split second! His illustrations are rich in creativity and never fail to move me. His background in the commercial arts is rich with progress; achieving excellence such as the Newbery Medal (1928 ~ Verotchka's Tales and The Undertaker's Garland), the Cardecott Honor Book (1938 ~ Seven Simeons).
However, what impresses me the most is his anthropomorphism, like my favorites below!

Angie Lewin
Angie Lewin ~ Printmaker
Nature deserves to be lifted on a pedestal and glorified; immortalized as the purest form of creation. The world over artists, designers, illustrators are accomplishing this noble task, and among them is one of my many favorites; Angie Lewin.
I fell in love with the work of Angie Lewin when I received from my sister, a printed card by Angie Lewin (See below). I was blown away by her simple style; her use of romantic colours and charming play of lines.
Her work ranges from wood engravings, prints, illustrations, textile and watercolour paintings. I highly encourage those whom are looking to be inspired by the sumptuous English prints to visit her site at http://angielewin.co.uk/index.htm
