Pepijn de Jonge (3)

From Pepijn de Jonge I already received pretty mail.
And this time he answered to my 'add-and-return' by this great drawing.

I think his illustrations always very pleasant and atmospheric, showing relaxed folks, and music, and animals. Among the animals chickens, cats and horses. And for this 'What or whom is she staring at?' he added Humans and a Dog.

See more artwork by Pepijn on his website and instagram.
And, after a long period of patience, you can see it in real as finally his book has been published, 'A Concert for the Moon'.



Thank you very much, hartelijk dank, Pepijn!

Pufflingspaintings

"Sqoxes are surprisingly good at snorkeling. They hide their best nuts in ziplock bags under rocks as no one ever finds them there (often this includes themselves as they are terribly forgetful)."

I am a big fan of Pufflingspaintings' paintings. I learned to know the painter via Instagram. You can find her also on Twitter and Etsy. Every time her illustrations of the adventures of Sqox and Unicorn succeed to cause a big smile on my face.


"Just having a little lunch."

Some time ago, after a conversation we had on instagram about nuts, I decided to send her my version of Sqox, accompanied by some delicious chestnuts.
And some time later she surprised me with these great illustrations.



Some summer views of Unicorn.



Thank you very much, Pufflingspaintings!

Suus in Mokum

Don't know which name I would give this animal, whose glasses and ears contain my favourite colours. Anyhow, the title is 'Ik zie blokjes met nieuw brilletje', 'I see cubes through new glasses'.
Made and sent by Suus in Mokum.

Suus' snail mail weblog you can find here, more sent and received mail art by Suus in Mokum is here. More art - colour! - like the circles above, you can find here.

Hartstikke bedankt, Suus!

Call for Mail Art: Weird Existing Animals

Platypus, Tapir, Okapi, Echidna, Kookaburra, Axolotl: some of my favourite animals.
They have in common that they exist in real life and that they are uncommon.
