Via Fubiz
I have just discovered, via Fubiz, the wonderful work of Australian born artist/illustrator, Nanami Cowdroy. Her signature detailed style reflects a refined monochrome pallette with her name 'Nanami' (meaning 'Seven Seas' in Japanese ) stamped in red. Fluid line-work, watery creatures and Goldfish are some of her favourite subjects, and distinctive forms which are featured in her artworks.
Elaborate and exotic, her work is influenced by her mixed Japanese and European heritage, a heritage that has influenced her style of art and creative expression. As well creating these wonderful artworks, Namani has turned two of her favourite illustrated characters 'Kintoto' the goldfish) and 'Origami Tsuru' the paper crane have been translated into 'wearable treasures' (that's jewellery to you and me!). as using her work for examples of her work on
The illustrations have also been turned into 'skins' suitable for everything from laptops, Flip video cameras and iPhones; and other items as diverse as cushions and coffee cups.
Beautiful work, Nanami, beautiful work. See more on her website.
