The Artist of My Eye: Amy Hamilton

Ahoy there! Today's featured artist is Amy Hamilton, a Canadian graphic design student at St. Lawrence College in Ontario. She graduates this month. Above is an infographic about whales, made by Hamilton.
And a fawn watercolor painting:
Do you see it? There's something so mystical and magical about Hamilton's work. It looks real in a weird kind of way, and yet it doesn't seem real. I think I would call this surreal.
You can access her portfolio site here.
P.S. I haven't been active on this blog for very long! Sorry!
I have an announcement to make

So yeah, I am redesigning the whole kingdom of Luna and art, and that's what's up with all the crazy changing looks recently. I am also trying out new templates.
Please:
Thanks in advance.

World Wide Web has come a long way ever since Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented it. Twenty-five years is a long time. Happy birthday, World Wide Web!
The Artist of My Eye: Sarah Goodreau

Sarah Goodreau is a freelance illustrator originally from Massachusetts, but now she is living in the Netherlands, in Amsterdam.
As you can see, Sarah Goodreau uses shading and perspective in her art, but her illustrations remain very flat and 2-dimensional. That's what I love about her art, because since it seems very quiet and calm but you suspect something is up, so her art is a little mysterious. I think she could be a great illustrator for children's picture books.
You can find her blog/portfolio here.
I am happily tumbling in typography!!!

There isn't much text in art, if any. Often this text is the artist's signature and date.
OR NOT...
Those writing utensils are so awesome. But anyways, you can all see that art can be conjured with words. This is called typography. I can't tell you how much I can't get out of typography. I love hand lettering and fonts.
What the heck are those sunglasses!?

The Artist of My Eye: Monica
0Wednesday, February 5, 2014 by Luna
Hi there! Today the Artist of My Eye's name is Monica. She is a fourteen year old teenager living in Mexico City, so she doesn't make art for a living yet. I have a feeling she will though, or probably a computer technical expert on making awesome graphics. I mean, how does a fourteen year old already self-design her own blog? I know those little side drawings on her blog are hers because Monica has shown her art in posts. On the bottom right are the side drawings (they're actually buttons).
And above is the logo. At first sight, it seems like the First Lemon blog. In Mexico, lima means lemon in Spanish. Monica is bilingual (she speaks Spanish and English), so naturally she confused lima with lime. That's how the First Lime was born, which is the name of Monica's blog. But if you speak Spanish, you might say, "I thought lima really did mean lime and limón meant lemon." I speak Spanish too, but not Mexican Spanish. It's probably just the dialect.
Well, anyways, Monica is very inspiring, even more so the First Lime. I highly recommend following her blog!
