:: Open Thread : Our Favourite Contemporary Artists and Illustrators…

September 4, 2009

I have a lot of favourite artists and illustrators. A lot. Of course my true love is vintage art and design, but today’s contemporary artists are the vintage stars of tomorrow, right?!

I really like contemporary stuff that references vintage style. I like art that touches pretty heavily on crafty influences. I really like art that is sweet and sketchy and all about how fragile we humans can be. I like art that is painstaking and skilled and careful. But that’s just me.

What about you? What do you like? I would love to know who you love in le world of art. Please add their links below so we can all visit them and see how great they are. Maybe we can even buy a print?!
