Jaime Zollars

Baltimore Illustrator Jaime Zollars is one of my favorites. Even after lots of time has passed, I will find myself reminded of Jaime's work for whatever reason and I'll Google her name to see what she's been up to. This year, it looks like Jaime redesigned her web site. She's got a LOT of work up, in the many genres she works in, all neatly organized and thoughtfully categorized. In fact, you'd never know what an art treasure trove lies under the surface of the site, judging by the simple, clean design. The Gallery, Print and Fun pages each have several subsections detailing specific genres and/or projects (and of course children's books is in there!). She's also got a tour of her Baltimore studio (what person, artist or not, doesn't enjoy peeking into another artists' studio?) There is a blog too which is part of the overall new site. I'd be remiss if I did not mention her old blog as well, which is off-the-grid now, but it's findable by Googling. Check out some of her other assignment work here --much of it for children's market. Look, I'm not even mentioning all of the goodies she has for you. Check out her site for yourself. It's full of goodies... speacking of goodies, she also has a shop-- so check that out, too. :D

There is so much talent out there.. You just have to take a few minutes online to browse blogs and realize this. So I decided I would post from time to time about great artists that deserve to be seen!

Today I chose Eric Barclay. His art is deliciously graphic and stylized with an old feel to it. Love how he uses color and takes his art to the simplest form. He also creates amazing characters out of everyday things.

Don't you just love that? How he can see something special out of an object that people just throw away in the recycled bin?

Eric's art rocks. But don't take my word for it, take a look at his website and blog. :o)
