I love the colourful, uplifting work of Australian artist and illustrator Rebecca Cool. Rebecca is happiest when she is creating and you can tell. She drew her first wide-eyed, rosy-cheeked trademark face at the age of 10 and has painted it on everything ever since.
Inspired by the patterns of her fabric collection, with a preference for the 1950s and sourced from fans across Australia, Rebecca creates vibrant collages blending oil pastels, paint and fabric that have a folksy, Eastern European feel. Her art is refreshingly naive and playful.
More examples of Rebecca's work can be found here, here and here
Via the excellent Bondville.
These are very cool - pardon the terrible pun!

ReplyDeleteDeb, so glad you like! Rebecca Cool has just released a children's book that is to-die-for called "Isabella's Garden" authored by Glenda Millard. Full of fabulous paintings on every page.
