Inspiration: Deborah Van Der Schaaf (Illustrator)

Yesterday I came across this illustrator, Deborah Van Der Schaaf. The website is in Dutch, but you can see enough to understand why I like this artist so much! She's got some really clever pieces of illustration art. These are the kind of people that make me doubt if I should go study art or illustration. And it's a very serious doubt. Why can't I ever make up my mind and go for one thing?

What do I like so much about these illustrations?
Hard/bright colours, big contrasts, simple but with a clever idea behind it, cheerful, a bit strange.

Inspiration: Julie Nord

 I only just found out about this artist, Julie Nord. She's got some very interesting work! (Pretty!!) I really like her style of delicate illustrations, of black and white, of a deeper meaning and story. There's so much detail you can totally lose yourself in any of her works. Pictures crowded with detail, and then a big white, open space. It's very strong.

I like umbrella's. A lot.
And I really like this one. I've got plenty ideas to make things with umbrella's... If only I could really bring those ideas to life... Maybe I will, soon.
