Artist Envy - Jen Collins

 I haven't done an "Artist Envy" post in a while. However,one of my 101 Things was to discover the work of 20 artists who are new to me. So today, I am writing about an illustrator whose work I saw for the first time last night. Her name is Jen Collins and I think her work is amazing! She lives and works in Scotland, and keeps a blog that is definitely worth checking out. She does a variety of work, but my favorite project she has going on currently, is an illustration of one artist from her iTunes playlist, for each letter of the alphabet. Here are my favorites.

Joanna Newsom - of course.

Flight of the Conchords - very well done.

Knitting - This if the very first work of her's that I saw. I think you can see why I had to find out more!

Fox - I think this image shows her versatile style rather well. I also, really love foxes.

 I hope you take a few moments to look at some more of here work. I had about 8 images picked out, but narrowed it down to these so that this post wouldn't take an hour to load. It is rare to come across an artist whose style is so refreshing. I can't wait to find 19 more artist to inspire me!
