What a wonderful topic for this week's Illustration Friday brief. Forests are hotbeds of mystery: think about the far off sounds you hear in forests, the smells, the wind in the old, looming trees. And there's all the folklore and legends surrounding forests, in print and even on film: Hansel and Gretel, The Hobbit, Blair Witch... and what about the sound of a tree falling when there's no one to hear it?
Anyway, please do comment and follow, I have some really exciting news which is: tomorrow I will be publishing my first ever interview, with Yorkshire-based crafter Louise Armitage, otherwise known as Gini's Boutique. I've been wanting to do this for a while, and I'm so glad to finally get the ball rolling.
I'm looking for artists, illustrators and printmakers to interview, if you're interested, drop me a line and we can arrange something...
nice work. Love you elephant in the side bar too.
