Talkative Beasts
Two mots-images by Jean Alessandrini, thanks to design et typo
Combining animals with letters is an old idea, but still as fun as always,
and open to endless variations. Today's selection includes both
hand-lettered and typographic creatures, and even three-dimensional ones.

Sweet Dreams
Squirrel Spoon
I really enjoy the rich and colorful tenderness of Sandra Dieckmann's art.
She clearly loves animals, line drawing, patterns, and collage, and I couldn't agree with her more.
Coincidentally, as I was preparing this post, I dicovered that just yesterday she was informed
that her work has been chosen by Shaun Tan as the winner of the Emerging Talent category
at the 2011 Cheltenham illustration awards. Congratulations Sandra!

Dieckmann is from Germany and has been living in London since 2002.
You can read an interesting interview with her at We Love Creativity.
Hi : Bye
Found You There
This work is part of a collaborative project with illustrator Jaime Mills
portraying ten of the world's most endangered animals.

Congratulations again to Sandra for her seemingly boundless energy!
