Gartnerfuglen



This project struck me because of the use of the anonymous red coated figure.
A project about disconnecting and reconnecting 'Unavailability' by Norwegian architects; Gartnerfuglen; a mobile fisherman's hut with a collapsable timber frame and walls of ice, where a single inhabitant can isolate themselves from modern technology.
Is this our new wilderness? The only space where it is possible to 'get away'? Thank you

Fernando Pérez Hernando I


I love this, clever, funny illustration by Fernando Pérez Hernando painted on cardboard with gouache, watercolour, marker pen and coloured pens.
 "This little red I made for a friend, and the message I wanted to send him is that everything depends on the eyes with which to look at things." Fernando Pérez Hernando

Elizabeth O. Dulemba


I blogged on the art room about rediscovering and using unfixed tissue paper as a method of printing. Elizabeth O. Dulemba contacted me about what type of tissue paper I had used, but it was no specific brand just a cheap pack I had picked up. Anyway, Elizabeth has started working with little red and has been layering the colours of the tissue prints and I love her results. Looking forward to seeing how this work develops.

Sophie Lécuyer



In researching further into risographs for The Art Room Plant I have found French illustrator Sophie Lécuyer's work. Sophie's work has a theme of the wild and the mythologies and stories of wilderness including images relating to Little Red Riding Hood.

Nicolas Gouny II


A delightful, bright, very stylised 'Red Riding Hood' from Nicolas Gouny. Despite coming to illustration as a career later, Nicolas has published many books he has a very recognisable graphic style and a great sense of fun in his works.
