Art meets life meets art in Harper’s Bazaar’s April issue.
Models like Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista had their portrait drawn by the artist Francesco Clemente, and then struck the same pose alongside the portraits for photos by Jason Schmidt.
I just love Alain Grée‘s original drawing style, that is so much copied nowadays, trying to replicate the vintage feel.
As an author and illustrator of children’s books, Grée published over 300 books, mostly in the 1960s and 1970s. His books were translated around the world into 20 different languages.
“Dream Big” by Niteesh Yadav, a graphic UI designer and letterer from New Delhi, India.
“Niteesh’s piece is for the “IndiaThroughType” series, aimed to bring out some unique and interesting aspects of India through various type based experiments. He is traveling across the country to witness the rich culture, arts/crafts and daily practices from which to draw inspiration for Finding.design, a personal project to find out what is Indian Design?
This is the first piece to kickoff the project. The “paint” used is not a paint but powdered natural colors mixed with water which are used to decorate the elephants during Indian festivals. The elephant’s name is Rani, which means queen in English. Niteesh spent an entire day getting to know her before he began painting. He said she seemed to really enjoy it.”
Talk about some original places to do lettering!
Today is ‘Clean Monday‘ in Greece (Kathara Deftera), which means that by tradition many people will -attempt to- fly their kites.
This is why I am posting the ‘Kite Facts’ by one of my favorite illustrators, Mike Lowery.

Happy Women’s Day with a selection from the beautiful work of UK-based artist Amy Judd.
A description for her work: “Amy Judd’s paintings are a collection of sensitive silent moments; some full of whimsical intrigue, others more surreal and seductive. These paintings draw inspiration from the enchanting and imaginative relationship between women and nature found in traditional mythologies and folklores.”
