so i hope you all had a nice weekend spent doing various weekend activities etc
most of mine was spent colouring in mermaids + running around the kitchen in a 'cape' playing superheroes with Sienna, my 5-year-old cousin, you know... just a regular weekend!
anyway, it's a new week so i figured it might be time for a lovely new Creative Café post!
go on then, you know what to do! go and get a nice cup of tea (or coffee, or juice...) grab some biscuits, maybe some sweeties too, and a slice of cake...
oh, don't forget to get comfy!
ready?! good!
so todays post is all about the very sweet and whimsical artwork of the truly super duper Emmeline Pidgen
Emmeline is a 23-year-old British illustrator currently based in the UK. she sums up her work ethos pretty fabulously in the little blurb she has on her blog "I draw and paint which makes me feel lovely. I like digital or physical coins to be given to me in exchange for little snippets of my imagination to help me buy such goods as cereal, yoghurts or a selection of peppers."
i just love her quirky style of drawing + the wonderful colours she picks for her characters and scenes, each one tells a different story and is completely unique
she does all sort of fun stuff for various companies, businesses and publications...
...and her children's picture book illustration is just divine!!!
it looks absolutely gorgeous, chock full of delicious illustrations and bright colourful scenes! the book is actually released TOMORROW!!!
Emmeline is currently running a little competition on her blog to give away a signed copy of the book to one lucky winner! you can enter here - Flywaway Blanket Competition
anyway, i think it's time for all of YOU to have a little look through some of Emmeline's lovely work in your own time, happy scrolling...
