Emily Winfield Martin illustrations

Emily Winfield Martin is amazingly talented illustrator and painter based in Portland, which really seems to be today’s mecca of prettiness full of creative folks that we thanks to this huge virtual world discover on daily base. Therefore, I was happy from the moment I discovered one of Emily Winfield’s illustrations that featured a girl wearing a striped top and Mary Janes and riding on carousel surrounded by ducks and other dear animals. From an early age Miss Winfield had a quite picturesque imagination therefore as a little girl she was spending every moment drawing, reading, dressing rabbits in fancy clothes, and having many peculiar daydreams.
Besides she is known worldwide and her works have been published in many magazines, she is the author and illustrator of an illustrated novel for children Oddfellow's Orphanage and a paper doll epic called The Black Apple's Paper Doll Primer. Her illustrations are like little secret doors to another vivid world where magical prettiness lives. And we adore secret worlds like this one of Miss Winfield. It’s good that she lends us a key for this door so we can enter into this imaginary and picturesque world.

Illustration crush; Katy Smail


Probably you have noticed Katy Smail illustrations around your tumblr dashboard or at WeHeartIt. I’ve been stumbling upon illustrations of this girl for quite a long, but I didn’t know her name until I discovered her blog Thistledown Spirits by accident. 
Katy is NYC based illustrator that creates whimsical stories featuring pretty fashionable pieces and all the pretty thing we love. Her illustrations embellish covers of books and are featured in publications, and she is also doing quite interesting collaborations with photographers, designers and artist. Katy’s work is also special because of her playing with collage technique, so magical things such as birds or flowers often surround her girls dressed up in pretty frocks. And how wonderful are her zodiac illustrations...

Once upon a time, lovely Loulou used to make prettiest collars embroidered with stars and moons and finest bows and lingerie that only princesses wear. 
Today, Loulou Loves You is still creating her floral headbands to wrap our heads with little sparkles that flowers spread. Except she is designer and Reiki healer, exceptional Loulou Androlia is also very talented illustrator that creates magic with her pen. Her drawings are cheerful, pretty and magical. Just like the life.

illustration file; Sarah McNeil

Sarah McNeil is very talented New Zealand-based artists and illustrator, whose work has been featured in Magazines like Chikismiqui, Blanket and Frankie. Her illustrated girls are not some super-heroines that jump off the sky or are doing something turbulent, they are tender creatures, which are very often friends with animals so they will whisper to butterfly or will protect a bird. Of course they are all dressed very well and have the sweetest collars and dresses. And wild creatures, even those that we consider of as dangerous, with Sarah’s pencil look very friendly, fragile and happy. Unlike the most illustrations of animals today, especially in children books where they often look like aliens,  this pretty illustrated world is something completely different. You can purchase prints, original illustrations, postcards, stickers and lots of more from her Etsy shop! And please pay attention to names! Pretty interesting creature is this Sarah McNeil. Don’t you agree?
