]]>From that, he built a rich portfolio of illustrations, graphic novels, tapestries, and even tarot decks—all things that can carry symbolic meaning.
He’s not always sure how the painting will come up until he finishes it: “I’ll have a vague idea of color and a small piece of a figure I can’t quite make out stuck in my head, and I’ll have to make it,” he says.
There’s something about certain artists that gives them the confidence to just barrel into a production and not necessarily knowing what’s going to happen, and yet having the confidence that it’s going to turn out well.
Such is certainly the case with Willcox and his work. Sometimes, the inspiration comes to him in dreams or during meditation sessions.

]]>Arjona is an animator and 3D illustrator who creates these clever illustrations for fun. “After 12 years as a full-time illustrator, I decided to take a big step in my career and I switched to animation. Storytelling is my passion, so I feel that animation allows me to create a much better representation of my concepts and characters,” he writes on his website.
The artist published two illustrated books, Villains Need Love (2017) and El Lado Adorable de la Vida (2021). His characters are often personified foods and other objects but the situations they find themselves in can be very relatable. Scroll down to check out some of his recent works and follow him on Instagram to see more. We’re sure you’re going to love his work as much as we do!

]]>“The streets of New York and its eccentric personalities definitely became a hub for inspiration after I moved from my other home, New Zealand,” she says on her website. “There was so much to capture, I couldn’t stop drawing people! My style naturally began to showcase my love for whimsical characters and satirical storytelling.”
This talented artist has worked with many famous brands in the past, including Faber Castell, Vans, J Crew, Ralph Lauren, and many others. Her illustrations tell stories about vibrant city life and always leave us wanting more.

]]>The post Good News, Illustrated by Talented Artist appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>“A mix of passion for editorial art and interest in journalism led me to this idea, upon finding that some very interesting stories get lost in our feed because they have an ordinary cover picture, like a stock image that doesn’t say much. That’s because some subjects are too abstract to be photographed, so editors pair them with something neutral and insipid,” the artist told Bored Panda.
Since most of us spend our days consuming news and other content on social media, their idea was to create a visual editorial approach and highlight the good things that are happening. As you’ve probably noticed, bad news attracts people’s attention most of the time, and this account wants to change that. Scroll down to see some of the recent illustrations and follow ICSD on Instagram for more similar content in the future.
After suffering frozen eyes in an accident on the Matterhorn three years ago and lost her flatmate in an accident there last year, Fernanda overcame her fears to complete the feat just one day before a landslide trapped 25 climbers on the mountain. "I was super scared, but these mountains represent a physical, emotional and spiritual challenge for me." 
Climbing without rope in solo style, Maciel reached the 4,061m summit of Gran Paradiso in just two hours and 40 minutes, completing the round route in just four hours and three minutes to better her own previous FKT. She then transferred to Cervinia, in Italy, and climbed the 4,478m Matterhorn summit on a difficulty IV rated route. 
Damn.

So in 2020 the agency was given the Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts to combat hunger and improve conditions for peace. 
The WFP, the 101st winner of a prize now worth 10m Swedish krona, said it was "deeply humbled" to have won. "I was literally for the first time in my life without words," said David Beasley, the WFP head. "To receive this award is a recognition to the men and women at the World Food Programme who put their lives on the line every day for the struggling, suffering people around the world. So I hope this is a signal and a message that the World Food Programme is a role model and that we all have got to do more." 
If you want to make a small contribution to the program you can tap the link in bio. The minimum amount is $1,50, which could make up for almost 5 food rations, given the strong ties between WFP and food suppliers.

These are the conclusions of a research published in the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology which involved six studies that asked participants to rate the attractiveness of themselves and other participants, who were strangers. The studies also asked participants to predict how others might rate them. 
In the first study, lead author Tobias Greitemeyer found that the participants who were most likely to overestimate their attractiveness were among the least attractive people in the study, based on average ratings. 
"Overall, unattractive participants judged themselves to be of about average attractiveness and they showed very little awareness that strangers do not share this view. In contrast, attractive participants had more insights into how attractive they actually are. […] It thus appears that unattractive people maintain illusory self‐perceptions of their attractiveness, whereas attractive people's self‐views are more grounded in reality." Greitemeyer found that unattractive people were worse at differentiating between attractive and unattractive people. But the finding that unattractive people may have different beauty ideals did "not have an impact on how they perceive themselves." 
“It truly is a celebration for the whole community,” Antonella Invernizzi, the mayor of Morterone, told Corriere della Sera. Denis’s parents, Matteo and Sara, followed the Italian tradition of announcing the birth by placing a ribbon – blue for a boy and pink for a girl – on the door of their home. It is the first time such a ribbon has been seen in the village since 2012, when a baby girl was born. 
Sara spoke about being pregnant during the coronavirus pandemic, which has severely affected the Lombardy region but spared Morterone. “It wasn’t easy to be pregnant during a pandemic,” she said. “You were unable to go out or go and see loved ones.” She said there would be a party once the family returns from the hospital. “We will welcome everyone with open arms … It’s exciting that my little one will be among the inhabitants of Morterone, and increasing, even if only slightly, the population.” Denis’s birth comes a few weeks after data showed that Italy’s declining birth rate hit a record low in 2019, with 420,170 babies born – the lowest since records began in 1861. 
The study was conducted by Dr. Liisa Hamalainen, from the University of Cambridge, on 2 types of birds, blue tits and great tits. She made 2 types of food items out of almond flakes, some of them soaked in a bitter solution, and placed a cross or a square on an outer wrapping. The birds reactions were then filmed and shown to members of both their own and other species. 
Upon eating the bitter flakes the birds reacted with a comical disgust, making a great show of their distaste, whose meaning their viewers recognized. Both blue tits and great tits got the message and steered well clear of the bitter flakes, confirming that the educational video worked.

]]>Quite the opposite. According to Tonks, he deliberately exaggerates certain features or parts of the animal anatomy, which makes them more cartoonish and therefore, more enjoyable. Having a distinguishable silhouette is key in character illustrations, says Tonks.
But in order to exaggerate his characters, he first has to understand their anatomy properly. This, Tonks does through animal observations, as well as studying other illustrators. Using ProCreate, he then creates his characters through a series of mark making, adding texture and body.
Based in Bournemouth, Tonks also runs an Etsy store where you can find prints of his work at a reasonable price. You can also enjoy he work from afar, by following him on Instagram.

]]>Born in Portland and currently living and working in Los Angeles, Jacobs’ illustration have that oomph factor (that extra magic on top), most illustrators can only hope for. So it comes as no surprise that amongst her selected clients she counts top tier publications like The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post, as well as brands as big as Google, Airbnb, Snapchat, and TED.
Passionate about colored pencils, Jacobs creative process is fairly straight forward. “Put most simply,” she says, “I sketch out the drawing then color it in. I try to picture what a piece is going to look like beforehand so that the act of drawing is mostly brain-hand translation. I also like to do a lot of research and get myself into Google wormholes.”
According to Jacobs, she’s a drawer more than a painter, feeling most comfortable with a pencil at hand. Her interests also include nature, music, and social issues, as she illustrates them with sensitivity and California technicolor.
Her wonderfully textured work is a feast for the eyes:

]]>A freelance illustrator and surface designer based in Bangkok, Thailand, she draws her inspiration mainly from Asian folklore, focusing mainly on themes that include flora and fauna.
#sketchbook“Thailand is a wonderful country to live in,” said Chueobchoey in an interview with Lake. “I was born and raised in a Thai-Chinese family. I am originally from a small town in the countryside of Thailand. I am influenced by the integration into two cultures. That has inspired me in some way and I would like to include it into my illustrations.”
After graduating with a BFA Communication Design, Chueobchoey moved to the US to continue her studies. “It was quite a challenging experience living alone in the US for a year,” she admits. “It was fun and I have learned to deal with anything by myself. At that time I had no clue about what I wanted to be. So, I took a short course at the Academy of Art University. And I figured out I wanted to be an illustrator.”
So she returned to Thailand, where she first worked in graphic design before transitioning into a freelance illustrator and surface designer. Now committed to illustrating, Chueobchoey works mostly with watercolors but also employs gouache and ink to create her illustrations and floral patterns.

]]>The post Justyna Stasik’s Illustrations Are Popular with Seniors and Babies Alike appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>Born in Poland and currently based in Montreal, Stasik has gained the attention of huge brands and publications like Apple, The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Sony.
But incredibly enough, she is entirely self taught, when it comes to her craft. “I never went to art school and I’m 100% self-taught,” she told Sense of Creativity. “At some point I’ve landed an internship at a small Polish tech startup creating iOS games for kids. I was offered a full-time position there and that’s how my career started.”
A creative spirit if we’ve ever seen one, Stasik grew up experimenting with collage making and illustration, before moving on to animation and graphic design. She now encourages others to tap into their hidden talents as well. “I don’t think it’s about learning the creativity itself but more about figuring out how to access what’s already inside,” says Stasik. “And that is definitely something you can learn later on in life.”
We’d rather take a nap.

]]>Born in Japan and currently based in Melbourne, Australia, Imazu’s chosen mediums include printmaking, papercut, puppetry, and installation, as well as bookbinding and ceramics, with animal imagery a common thread throughout her work.
. . #printmaking #etching #aquatintBoth real and surreal, her illustrations include animals found in Japanese folklore, as well as realistic recreations of insects and rodents. “I like mixing real and mythical animals together because I love imagining what it was like to live in the world before all animals were named and categorized,” says Imazu. “There was a time when rhinos were as fantastical as unicorns.”
According to Imazu, her inspiration comes from stories, as well as memories and myth. “Similarly, I encourage viewers to bring their own memories and associations to my work,” she notes. “They can decide if it’s personal or political.”
There will be lots of new books there and all of them are being screenprinted and bound by hand of @ph3mi3 & @onionpeterman in Hong Kong right now!
