Diesel and Juice

This week on "Wonderful World of Etsy" I wanted to show you the gorgeous illustrations from Diesel and Juice.
Diesel & Juice is an illustration project that was inspired by Michele's love for her English bulldog, Diesel, and feisty feline, Juice. She offers both custom and pre-made prints of the most adorable pets, creatures, and objects. I just adore her digitally drawn choice of subjects and the gorgeous colours these great illustrations come in.

I found them whilst looking for some art to hang in my guest room, where I have one large wall that needs brightening up. I am thinking about spray painting a selection of old frames I have in bright colours and I think these modern looking illustrations of vintage items would be perfect inside them...

Have a sweet day!

Belle & Boo

I recently bought some adorable postcards in Paperchase and turned them over to see who the artist was. Belle & Boo is the work of illustrator Mandy Sutcliffe:



"Belle & Boo are two of Mandy’s favourite characters. Belle with her bobbed hair, bright eyes and wearing vintage clothing, is insistently curious about the world around her, and based on elements of Mandy as a child.



With her magical imagination Mandy was always surrounded by friends, and together they fulfilled many a daydream. So when creating Belle she gave her Boo - Belle’s adorable bunny rabbit companion and confidant."



I discovered she has a website www.belleandboo.com where you can purchase prints of her adorable art along with bags, buttons, clothes, tags and cards etc.



She also has an adorable blog where she posts pics of the original drawings.
