Drawing Dreams with Art and Ghosts
Thursday, October 30, 2008 23:21Happy Halloween!
And welcome to the dream world of art and ghosts. An ethereal sphere that is charming and creepy all at the same time. These mysterious prints are made in Manchester, England by a woman named Louise who fancies a bit of fairy tale and mythology.
She has this to say about her work:
“My images usually begin with a photograph, a painting or a doll portrait. I buy many dolls then sell them on for this reason alone (so fickle!),
although i do possess a somewhat overbearing collection of plastic animals, doll house furniture and vintage frocks. My backgrounds are generally my own paintings or textures that I have created or photographed. Although most of my ‘completed’ work is digital, my sources are rather eclectic at best.”
Fitting for today’s holiday, art and ghosts was one of the first Folksy finds that caught my eye. She has a few listings on the UK site, but admits that she seems to ship off most of her work stateside. To see her spectral series with US dollar signs attached, scoot over to Etsy, where she’s hosted a successful shop for almost two years.
