designer/illustrator helen dardik has been incredibly busy since i last posted her work back in mid febuary. her blog orange you lucky! has become a real must read as she not only posts her latest works but also casts her creative eye over sites like etsy and flickr. im astounded and amazed at the speed and apparent ease with which helen is constantly creating - shes so talented. i also learned from her blog she has produced a scrapbook range with creative imaginations, see it online here.
helen's work is amazingly adorable! I love her little characters that get mixed into the patterns.
ReplyDeleteI love the sea creatures! I also recently bought the Cutting Edge Patterns and Textures book from your site - wonderful, graphic read. Thanks!
ReplyDeletei agree diana, a cutting edge is a really great book :)
ReplyDeletei love all these colors! =]
ReplyDeletethank you for introducing me to helen dardik! i am her new biggest fan too.
ReplyDeletei was browsing her blog this morning :) i posted one of her illustrations on my blog recently.

ReplyDeleteSuch fun color combinations. I love them!
ReplyDeleteI formally acknowledge that you and your blog "Make My Day"
ReplyDeleteCheck out your nomination :)Ju
Thanks for the inspiration!
I agree, Helen is extraordinarily energetic (with three kids!) and I think her work is really fabulous. I'm not sure what Dardik means, but in one of our local languages here, "daadelik" means "immediately", which sounds just about right!
ReplyDeleteJust adorable! Now that I have a little one of my own, and as an artist, I really appreciate designs that are beautiful, creative, colorful and bold that can be used for children. For my baby shower, I begged for them to steer away from pastels and "fluff!" Thanks for sharing!
