Art and Ghosts - Haunting Artwork by Louise Robinson

I recently happened to stumble upon the wonderful artwork of UK based artist Louise Robinson. Her work is almost dreamy, like a glimpse of a world you're not supposed to see when you're awake. I hope you'll enjoy her work as much as I do. She also has a wonderful home and I'd love a workspace like hers - light and cozy, full of cute trinkets and soft lights. I've added a picture of it below. And on her website she writes a little about her work and process:

"The majority of my works are created digitally, via the use of a Wacom tablet and Photoshop 7. Prior to 2008, most of my endeavors involved digital collage, the merging of photography with hand drawn illustration. Since then, I have concentrated mostly upon pure, digital painting, which I have more recently begun to combine with watercolour and acrylic painting, pencil sketching and hand drawn text. My most significant influences are drawn from fairytales, mythology, dolls, spectres, dreams and nature."

 

And above is Louise's wonderful workspace.

Drawing Holly

This is a quick sketch I did of Holly, the writer of the wonderful and addictive Decor8blog. I read it every day and it has greatly influenced my view on decorating and loving your home. Holly is very pretty and she recently posted a wonderful wintery photo of herself that I had to draw. This might not be the only time I try it though, as I'd love to draw it in another style as well.

A little something every day

So, I'm going to jump on board with the whole "create something every day" trend. A lot of people are doing it to stay creative and to help them think out of the box. It isn't so much about the quality of the work but more about being active. You can read more about this on the Inspiration Lab blog.
