Jungle postcard and small prints collection



I keep associating jungle elements I designed for my pattern collection, playing with lays out and colors from the palette I chose to from the start. As it went, I thought I might as well make it a postcard set

Here is… one of the 20 postcards 🙂

I’m happy with the result since it captures the classic, vintage-ish atmosphere I was aiming for — like something from a curiosity cabinet on aged beige paper, but with contrasting vivid modern colors. It feels good that I managed to keep in touch with my original intention and palette.
I can be a digression queen sometimes

Karl Blossfeldt – Photograph

Plant photographs capturing the sensual beauty of nature from Urformen der Kunst (Archetypes of Art) (1928) by Karl Blossfeldt (1865–1932).

Blossfeldt was known for his technical mastery of macro photography where he magnified the alien beauty of nature through his close-up portraits of plants, twigs, leaves, and seeds.

Although he was a lecturer at the School of the Royal Museum of Arts and Crafts, Blossfeldt was never formally trained as a photographer.

Blossfeldt used home made cameras and lenses to magnify his subjects up to 30 times their natural size. This resulted in sharp-focus realism, extreme clarity, and rigid compositions that look surprisingly avant-garde. 

Those images come from raw pixel public (free to download under the CC0 license) domain images They  have digitally enhanced these astonishing plant photographs in high-resolution printable quality.

Il y a deux espèces de liserons: le liseron des champs (Convolvulus arvensis), il appartient à la famille des convolvulacée dont le plus célèbre représentant n’est autre que la patate douce et le liseron des haies (Calystegia sepium).

BOTANICUM

J’aime tellement les illustrations de Katie Scott !

Elles sont très connues. Vous les avez au moins croisées. Magnifique travail de precision et d’harmonie, texturé juste comme il faut. Son univers est une sorte de cabinet de curiosités botanique. Herbier géant ordonné et sauvage à la fois.

“Autodidacte, Katie n’a jamais étudié la botanique. Ses premiers dessins botaniques étaient des plantes nées de son imagination qu’elle traduisait sur papier. Cela lui a permis d’asseoir son style, ce qui l’a ensuite amenée à travailler aux côtés de botanistes sur des illustrations plus précises”
