194 OSSINGTON AVE., TORONTO
You may have seen Toronto-based illustrator and Sheridan grad Melinda Josie’s kitty illustration’s in the current Little Burgundy campaign (shown). She works as a freelancer illustrating children’s books, doing editorial work, creating textile designs, and making fine art for gallery shows and commissions – but I think she’s on to something with these fashionable cats!
Another Toronto resident who also studied at Sheridan (Interpretive Illustration) is illustrator Chloe Cushman – her well-dressed subjects happen to be giraffes and lions – love it!
3×3 Professional Show
Deadline: March 4, 2011
(Student entries – see website – by March 25)
The 3×3 ProShow, an initiative of 3×3 Magazine, is the only truly international competition for illustration.
Winners will be invited to participate in our next 3×3 Illustration Directory which is mailed out free to a highly targeted list of 6,000+ art directors and art buyers in the US.
Open to all art directors, editors, designers and illustrators in all countries for commissioned and unpublished work produced in 2010.
Paule Trudel Bellemare is a FIT trained fashion illustrator living in Montreal, with a client list that includes many children book publishers and TopShop designer, Norwegian Wood. She sometimes exhibits her work in art shows and is even represented by an agency.
She recently produced a good-quality, 9×17″ 12-month calendar of new illustrations – and although it retails on her Etsy site for $50, it’s a great way to support local artists.
What do you get for the person who has everything? Everyone has everything so this question gets more tricky each gift-giving season. However, something that hangs on the wall is an idea – it doesn’t take up much space and doesn’t add to people’s clutter.
I found these on allposters.ca – an awesome site with thousands of art prints and posters. Another great idea for prints and posters is museum stores.
Came across these prints for sale online (great way to get artwork for your home). Published illustrator Felicia Atanasiu received a Bachelor Degree in Illustration at the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto – and exhibits occasionally.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Thanksgiving art print of Karl and the gals by Danny Roberts, for sale at Etsy.
People often ask me where or how to buy art – and seriously, I have no idea. I do know however (or think) that buying original art, prints and posters from artists through their Etsy sites is a great idea.
Me, I just pick things I like and can afford… For the purpose of sticking to the mandate of this site – I am only profiling Canadian artists…
These 24 x 31 inch posters are $50
