Guest Post - Jen from Red Parka Diaries...

Today we're lucky enough to have the extremely talented,  and wonderfully insightful, Jen from Red Park Diaries here to talk with us about her favorite works of art...

Australian Illustration Crush

Hello! I'm Jen, an Australian illustrator and blogger from over at Red Parka Diaries and I'm just a bit excited to be guest posting here on Grits and Moxie today! If you've seen my blog before, you'll know that once a week I write a post called Illustration Crush, where I showcase the work of a new illustrator I've discovered. So today, I'm going to give you guys a real treat and introduce you to some of my favourite Australian illustrators! I hope you find something in here to inspire you!

Sweet William is the design work of two sisters,one who lives in Melbourne, Australia, and the other in New Zealand. I featured them just the other day on Red Parka Diaries.... I just love their work, so happy and peaceful and bright.

Beth Emily is a fellow Tasmanian! There's not too many of us on our little island so I'm especially excited to share her work with you. 

I met Emma Leonard recently at an artists market in Melbourne and loved her stunning and unique fashion style illustrations.

Phillipa Garrard is another Melbourne-based artist whom I met at a market. Her work is so beautiful.

Nomuu is the label of Simone Downey who draws the cutest little critters.... Simone was my teacher when I did an Adobe Illustrator course a while back and I've been a fan ever since! 

I hope you've enjoyed this little peak into Australian illustration.... there is so much more I could have shown you! If illustration's your thing, come visit me at Red Parka sometime and check out all the other amazing illustrators I write about. I'd love to see you there! Jen x
