it must be my small town mentality as i'm always looking elseware other than my own backyard for inspiration. is art only valid if it's coming from the east or south? i think subconsciously i'm always looking outward without looking behind me. i think that happens a lot with us canadians. having such a huge influence due south of us, it's easy to get all wrapped up in the hype of things coming out of the usa and beyond.
enter mia hansen. a local illustrator, graphic designer, web designer and object maker (in the way of wall dolls) and other fun buttons and things. she's also a member of a collective of illustrators called the jupiter project. what a refreshing surprise to come by via another local in the shape of a magazine. you can find mia's work featured here (a downloadable pdf version of vein magazine) as well as at the plush you event in seattle at schmancy's starting this friday, august 12th! yay for backyard neighbors!
