Paola Zakimi
After viewing the work of artist and dollmaker Paola Zakimi I vow to write an inspiring brief, choose a visually exciting colour palette and get creating some new designs asap. Watch this space. ♥

Dream Weaver
Kirra Jamison cultivates ideas. A true dream weaver, her initial kernels of intuition germinate into lines, forms and patterns that branch and interlay the picture plane with snatches of narrative. Floating amongst the fragments of decorative motif and patterning, vignettes of everyday experience emerge and inveigle the viewer with abundant possibilities of meaning. Harmonious or chaotic, repeated or disrupted, Jamison's use of patterns and images dismantles cultural boundaries, blurring the divide between high and low art, the East and the West, the past and the present.
The Jan Murphy Gallery is a must for more details on Jamison's new work and a range of other contemporary Australian artist's profiles. ♥

Storytelling & Image Making
Born in Hong Kong and raised in Canada, Andrea Wan went to Emily Carr University of Art and Design where she received a degree in Film, Video and Integrated Media. With a strong passion in storytelling and image making, she went on to study illustration and design at Designskolen Kolding, Denmark. What a fantastic CV! Andrea is currently working as an illustrator and visual artist in Vancouver, BC. Don't you just love her work? ♥

Paper Puppets
This procession of paper puppets includes a baboon, bear and fox made from thick digitally printed card. Each animal has movable joints, allowing you to create your very own drama play - Great fun for both adults and kids!
Furze Chan is the artist behind these simple yet elegant designs. Based in Hong Kong she runs a little paper product company called "With Her Animal Poetry" where her original ink drawings and art prints tell stories about creatures and nature.
I love how each design is super neat and clean cut, placing emphasis on Furze's use of lovely white space. ♥
