Roadside Projects

I came across these lovely papercut designs today by Jayme of Roadside Projects and wanted to share them with you, in case you haven't seen this wonderful work before. If you fancy some of these lovely artworks to adorn your walls, then pop over to the Roadside Projects etsy store.

I really admire artists who create work that has its own unique style. Its something I've found hard to do, i think I spend so much time looking at the lovely work of other people that when I sit down to design or make something, it often seems to sub-consciously become a watered down (much less successful) version of other people's style. I think I need to spend more time creating and less time on the computer, maybe then I would develop my own unique style over time... that might be pretty tough - I love looking at the work of so many talented people on the 'net. Maybe, a late new years resolution.

Great illustrations by Johnny Yanok

Illustrations - Helen Dardik

I'm a huge fan of Helen Dardik who is such a talented illustrator and designer (I've already eatured her on the blog previously but couldnt resist blogging about her work again!) - her website is fantastic and shows so many of her great designs - I could spend hours looking at her work!

WIll Laren

I love these illustrations by Will Laren, they always make me laugh and he regularly updates his Flickr page with new illustrations which often have me howling with laughter - OK, maybe not howling, but chuckling away! I think they'd make great cards or prints but i don't think he sells them if he did I might have a whole wall covered in them!

Jill Gallenstein

Lovely pen and ink illustrations from Jill Gallenstein which I found via the lovely  Modish blog.  Jill's work is currently on show as part of the Collective Compulsions: The Winter Group Show in Oakland, CA if you are lucky enough to live in that part of the world.
