Antoinette Fleur

Posted by TheCraftyMinx on June 21, 2010 · 6 Comments

Speaking of illustrations, I’ve been investigating the work of Antoinette Fleur, a French artist my friend Olivier introduced me to through his blog, Dossier 37. Olivier tells me her drawings are published in all the top French magazines and super-popular in Europe.

I haven’t seen her work before – at least, I wasn’t aware if I have – but think there’s something so free and spirited about Fleur’s fashionably illustrated girls, don’t you? I am loving them.

Fantasy teapot print from Wilkintie

I’ve had my eye on this site for months now, where you can purchase lovely letterpress prints from artists living all over the world. Wilkintie, which was set up by Melbourne-based couple Carly Hargreaves and Niels Oeltjen, focuses on artwork for children, but their whimsical collection of pieces should appeal to the child inside everyone. Enjoy.

Logo designed by Zoë for Curious Works

Zoe and I used to work together a few years ago, back when I was a book publicist and she was an in-house graphic designer. Since then, Zoe’s completed a PhD on graphic novels (clever gel) and been getting her art out and about, as well as continuing to design books as a freelancer. I’ve always admired her work and get such a kick out of her illustrations, which are so often whimsical and surprising.

Check out Zoe’s beautiful, quirky art on her blog, or purchase prints, cards and tees at RedBubble, and support this up-and-coming local artist. I think we’ll be seeing a lot more from her in future.
