Artists,  Design,  Inspiration,  Murals

Design in Melbourne

I ran across this blog a while back called The Design Files. I was struck by one of the American artists who she profiled, Chelsea James. She had first been seen on Design Sponge.  Her work is wonderful. I find it a bit mysterious with masterful execution. Just look at how real this plastic bag looks.

I really enjoy her painting series on shoes.

She has a real talent for drawing. Here’s just one of her sketches.

Go to The Design Style Files to view more of her incredible work and read the full interview. I find her work very inspirational. Another plus about this blog is that it is choc full of interior design, murals and other related subjects that I find compelling and tend to write about here on this blog.

Murals in Arnhem, Holland are featured during their month long Mode Biennale. Check the site for details. I was happy to learn of this event.

One more design blog that I like coming out of Australia, Designalogue. There have been some very interesting posts and the blogger is an interior designer and loves design magazines. I can relate to getting inspiration from these too (two).

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
