If Dr. Seuss were a graffiti artist

Sofia Maldonado is a Cuban born mural painter with a whimsical and capricious style to her murals and figures. They are reminiscent of Dr. Seuss, yet Sofia makes them all her own with with distinct urban attitudes and attire.

Sketches

I was flipping through an old sketchbook and I found some drawings that looked interesting.
This is a sage plant that I had at my old apartment. Very aromatic, and tasty with pork.


This is a fern that I had. The fern died soon after I drew this, and the plant with small leaves took over the pot. I don't know what kind it is, nor how it seeded itself indoors.

Sanna Annukka

I just found a new artist. She puts a twist on Finnish folk and gives it a contemporary appeal. If you enjoy her as much as I do, pick up one of her screen prints, or one of these little soul birds.
