Joey Chou : 70s-style prints for the nursery

Thursday, June 13th, 2013

I love illustrator 
Joey Chou’s work! The simple shapes he employs, the colour palette he paints with, and a style that’s reminiscent of children’s illustration from the 70s… it all adds up to equal awesome art that I know would look lovely on those nursery walls…

The Wizard of Oz

He also created 3 exclusive prints for the release of the movie “Oz: The Great and Powerful”. The last one’s my favourite :)

To get your hands on one of Joey’s prints head to his shop, you can even buy originals too! Just going to ‘favourite’ that link for the future… :)

Colourful wood characters by Herman Marie

Friday, April 26th, 2013

I have fallen head over heels in love with everything in Kim Laurenti’s Etsy shop Herman Marie!

Her products are certainly a simple concept: wooden shapes, painted in bright colours.

But the illustration style is awesome!

These would liven up any child’s bedroom for sure…

And Kim has a second shop too where she keeps her slightly creepier characters employing a more muted colour palette. I don’t think the stuff in I Love Grey Skies would be as suitable for children, but you adults might like it :)

Nursery inspiration : Calvin & Hobbes

Monday, April 22nd, 2013

As a teenager I loved Calvin & Hobbes. I used to read the books compiling numerous awesome comic strips of the cheeky six-year-old and his pet tiger Hobbes (who appeared stuffed to everybody else, but was very much a real life tiger to Calvin).

I must dig out the books and rediscover those comics really, and if you haven’t ever read any I suggest you give them a go :)

Anyway, the reason I talk of them is because I spotted this delightful mural, over on My Modern Met, featuring Calvin & Hobbes that would be lovely for a little one’s bedroom…

The comics aren’t actually aimed at children but this is the sort of nursery that both Calvin & Hobbes-loving parents and children can get a kick out of… as to children, a young boy having a pet tiger is still a cool concept!

And now, before I sign off, I’ll leave you with a few examples of Bill Watterson’s brilliant creation…
