Link Love Creative - Illustration vol 1

Fifth time in everything. Where is the spring?(!) Colors, shapes, design, moods, feelings. I guess you have time because you can't be digging in the garden. Or can you? Here is too cold and too much snow in Helsinki. Get a warm cup of coffee and sit down. Put your  favorite music on. Hand picked links for your eyes only.

New magazines makes me wowww - uudet lehdet ihastuttavat

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams" by Eleanor Roosevelt is written on the cover of the new Flow magazine.

I was so happy and surprised when I went to book store and found these two new interesting magazines. Flow magazine is kind of familiar but now we have English edition available. So I CAN read it...it's a Dutch magazine originally.

If you like paper, design, creativity, illustration, making things by your hands, slowing down and enjoying your life the answer in Flow. It gets very close to what I'm interested at the moment. I'm still in the middle of reading it but I can already tell you that it's lovely! You can go and visit their website.

The other one is totally different or is it...Popshot Magazine. It's an illustrated literary magazine.

 
Yes, I bought a literary magazine that is so not me. But when I saw it I had to open it and when I opened it I had to read it. But I haven't read it through yet. Have to admit that I have felt uncomfortable with poems because I feel I don't understand or they just leave me with too many questions and bothered. But now that problem has solved. In Popshot Magazine they tell also what about the poem, short story, flash fiction is. Great. And I think it's perfect to connect two art forms: literary and illustration. They can reach even people like me. Haha. I noticed Popshot Magazine because of the great cover and smaller size. They have also website. Go and have a look!


Well, now I take a cup of coffee and open my flow. Hope you can do the same.

Have a lovely week!

 Ja kerran vielä suomeksi...
Lehtiä tulee ja menee mutta onneksi tulee välillä hyviäkin. Löysin Akateemisesta kaksi loistavan mielenkiintoista minulle uutta lehteä. Flow on hollantilainen lifestyle-lehti ihmisille, jotka tykkäävät paperista, luovuudesta, kuvituksista, luovista ihmisistä ja kenties hieman hitaammasta elämästä. Flow on aikaisemmin julkaistu hollanniksi mutta nyt on kauppoihin saapunut myös englanninkielinen versio. Jee, sitähän mekin jo ymmärretään. Popshot Magazine on sitten taas kirjallisuuslehti. Runot ovat olleet minulle hankalasti lähestyttäviä että ymmärrettäviä mutta kun ne ja muut tarinat yhdistetään hienoon kuvitukseen - jo minäkin tartun syöttiin. Varsinkin kun lopussa kerrotaan vielä mistä runo tai tarina oikeasti kertoi. Käy vilkaisemassa lehtien nettisivuilla: Flow magazine ja Popshot Magazine. Innostu ja ihastu. Loistavaa viikkoa!

Suunnittelija ja kuvittaja - Lovisa Burfitt - fashion illustrator and designer

Upeaa ja mielenkiintoista designia ja suunnittelua - Lovisa Burfittin kuvittamat Rörstrandin Mlle Oiseau  kupposet tarttuivat matkaan saman tien, kun ne näin viime vuonna. Oikeastaan ostin kolme, että on varaa rikkoakin. Arjen aamupalan sulostuttaja ja aamukahvin koti. Tänään päätin tehdä Burfittin mukin kuvituksesta mood boardin. Liekö linnun laulu korvissa vaikuttanut päätökseen ja tulkintaan. Tummat kohtalokkaat sävyt luovat kivan kontrastin tulvivalle valolle. Ja aivan loistava lause maanantain iloksi meille kaikille: Today I am a bird...  

Oh so wonderful design by Lovisa Burfitt. Mlle Oiseau Mug for Rörstrand is fabulous. I bought this mug sometime ago - last year and actually I bought three because sometimes we break these precious things...anyway after that I've enjoyed it's beauty at breakfast table and evening tea. And today I made a mood board of this Mlle Oiseau Mug...and you might notice that it was great fun to photograph this mug for me. Maybe it was bird singing in the morning or April but this decision took me to black and white with only one color. These dark shaded pictures makes interesting contrast to bright and shiny spring day. I think it's so lovely to have pretty things around you especially on monday morning at breakfast time. And it's good to read then carefully: Today I am a bird...  

Have an inspiring week!
