  Sabrina Tibourtine I was born in Paris. My father was an algerian film-student and my mother a german clerk. We moved to Germany soon where I started drawing horses first, but when I grew older my favorite themes werekurt kobain and eddie vedder and later on I used to draw spooky, surrealistic things (I don't like remembering these paintings, but you have to embrace your past, I was very young and rebellious! ) I studied Illustration and Animation in London and Krefeld and since then I am so very grateful to do exactly what I like best. If for some reason I wouldn't be able to work anymore this could be the end hof happyness. I live in Cologne, Germany now and I have a little studio with my husband in the city, (a great husband by the way who understands that I need Illustration to be happy (though he is often rolling eyes, when I say: "wait-let me finish this one quickly before we go"..) I have a littly 2-year-old who loves making sketches too, at least i think...

My featured artist of the day: Anita Rickwood What happened to the Owl and the Pussycat after the wedding? Well they got a mortgage on a nice semi in the suburbs, had lots of kittens and spent Sundays cleaning out the shed. They never forgot about their passion for travel though, and had a lovely holiday every summer with all their friends.   Anita Rickwood is a watercolour artist taking inspiration from the post impressionists, 1950's kids books and the animal kingdom. She lives in Brighton, a pretty city by the sea overrun with artists and musicians and spends the time she is not working trying to cultivate things on her allotment.

Let’s start by telling us a little about yourself. My name is Lena. I was born in Krasnoyarsk, Russia some….well…20 something years ago J I work as a customer service manager and clay-clay-clay when I don’t have to work as a customer service manager.  I always enjoyed making things since I was a kid. With me being quite a naughty kid that would usually result in a little home disaster. As I grew up my projects became more “environment friendly” and I finally ended up making jewelry – first from ready beads and then from polymer clay. Now I am making jewelry for sale, and hold master-classes for those who want to start making jewelry from polymer clay. 2. Besides working with clay, what other things do you like to do? I enjoy live music concerts, reading,...

You just have to look for it...and here is a good place to start!! A TASTE OF VINTAGE My name is Veronica and I am a   graphic designer ,   artist , and vintage enthusiast stationed in New York. I love old fashioned styles, odd trinkets, stationary, curious contraptions, novelties, and anything and everything. I consider myself a collector of the finer things in life, though you might just say I collect junk. But hey, who's to say that a perfectly smooth and shiny iridescent pebble doesn't fall in the category of the finer things? T A S T E of V I N T A G E justifies my unhealthy obsession with vintage fashion and feeds my shopping addiction, but most importantly of all, it's a showcase of goods that have tickled my fancy. I genuinely love every piece and it's extremely difficult to know I can't keep them all. If I did, I would suffocate in a room full of vintage and I prefer to be living and breathing.  My goal is to have you leaving my shop with that same gid...
