Oh, hoorah for artists like Fran Giffard who make blogging SO easy for me. I mean, if you know me AT ALL, you know I love art that has birds in it. And I love sketchbooks. And I love handwriting brought into someone's art... so it will be quite easy for you to see why I wanted to post about Fran and her amazing work.
~Sigh~
Here you go...
Happy Tuesday everybody!

I am loving the work of Erin Fitzpatrick this morning. Erin started a collection of portraits back in 2008, and her portfolio is now bursting at the seams with over 100 paintings and drawings of various people. She refers to this group of work as "people collecting" (I love that, don' you?) - and she sees her work as much than just painting her subjects; she is meeting and documenting all these new and different subjects along the way.
I had a hard time selecting just a few favorites from her collection of work, but here are some to get you started browsing. Make sure you go check out the rest of her portfolio after you view my favorites:
Happy Monday Friends!
And PS - in case you missed it this weekend, i'm on the hunt for some fabulous guest bloggers to help out Makewells while I'm in England this October. If you are interested in contributing, check out this post and/or shoot me an email (megela15@gmail.com) for more details!

I just love love love the creative photography of Kari Herer. I want a wall in our house dedicated to her work, all put in funky frames. Maybe I can start collecting, since she sells her prints on etsy.
Happy Monday!
*** ps, a follow up in the art festival I was in this week. A lot of nice work, but the clientele was more into the traditional watercolor landscape type work - not bright, funky succulents. Needless to say, I had a lot of lookers, not buyers! Oh well!

Today's inspiration comes from way down under - Australia, that is. Luci Everett is a Melbourne based designer and illustrator. I'm so drawn to the delicate nature of her work, as well as how she pieces her illustrations together into little collages.
Below are some of my favorite images from her Tumblr, as well as some of her previous design/illustration work for bands and gigs. Enjoy today's inspiration!
Lot's to do this week as I get ready for the Lynchburg Art Festival this week. Excited to share some projects and paintings I've been doing for some clients! Happy Monday everyone...

Today's inspiration comes from Norwegian illustrator Esra Roise. I don't need to say much else, because these are too cool for words.
Happy Monday!
