Illustration Love: Ellen and Julia

As you may know from reading my previous blog posts, fashion/portrait illustration is something I really enjoy looking at. I don't come across many blogs featuring illustrations, however as of today I am following Ellen and Julia who have recently started up a blog to share their illustrations and photography too. The Swedish sisters are also running a competition where the winner (or possibly more than one winner) will be drawn in their beautiful style. As a competition addict, I am very excited about this one! A stylish illustration is just what I would love to add to my blog. To enter the competition click here.

Illustration Love: Esra Røise

I thought it was about time for another bit of illustration love. Previously I have  told you about Italian genius René Gruau, Californian sweetheart Danny Roberts and talented New Zealander Kelly Thompson. My latest discovery is a Norwegian illustrator: Esra Røise. Based in Oslo, Ersa has worked for magazines such as Nylon, Vice and Wallpaper. She uses a variety of media including digital and collage but my favourite images are simply pencil and watercolour. I adore the colours she uses, as well as the splashes and drips of paint. Esra is inspired by a mixture of "people around her, the fashion industry, music, awkward moments and imperfections". 

I want one of Esra's prints on my bedroom wall. I want to be drawn by her. I actually want to be her a little bit! To take a peek at her website, click here.
