A few months ago I was asked to contribute to an Alphabet Book project that Tools for Schools Africa is putting together for Ghanian school children. Each artist was assigned a letter and asked to create an illustration based on people, places, and things that the children of Ghana can recognize. I was given the letter M and asked to depict a market scene with a mango tree! It was so much fun to work on!
You can read more about this project (and see the other wonderful contributions) here. A big "Thank You!" to Mike Boldt for including me in this great project. Thanks for thinking of me, Mike!
And also thank you to everyone who visits this blog and leaves me comments. It really does mean so much to me. I have had a lot of requests for a paper tutorial, so I will try to work one of those up in the next few weeks. More to come soon!
So beautiful Brittney! I love it. Hey I bought my niece the Tangled book you illustrated for Christmas and told her all about how much I loved the artist who drew the book (she's 3). We read the book together later that day and she LOVED IT! I'm expecting my own baby girl in a few weeks, so I need to buy another copy! :) hehe
ReplyDeleteOh and my husband bought me a Lagoon Love print for Christmas too! Which I was ECSTATIC about!! He is so good to me. It was a Brittney Lee Christmas for us! haha We're currently having Lagoon Love framed. And it inspired the color scheme for our redecorated living room space! haha
Thanks for this blog. I LOVE YOUR WORK SO MUCH!!!
It's lovely- I especially love the lighting.
ReplyDeleteI second the comment above: I too bought the Tangled book you contributed to. Gorgeous work! Very inspiring. :)
Beautiful, Beautiful work, Brittney!
ReplyDeleteI love the market scene, so vibrant and inviting. Beautiful work !
ReplyDeleteWow! This is so beautiful. Your color palette is perfect
ReplyDeleteOh this is so lovely! I love all the details in it! Could look at it for ages!
ReplyDeleteA treat for the eyes. Excellent
ReplyDeleteI'm captivated by your chickens! It's amazing how much life and movement you can breathe into a static image.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'd also like to add my voice to the growing plea for a paper tutorial-- mostly because it means we'll get to see more of your paper art!
Maravilhosa ilustração, Brittney, parabéns!

Great stuff as always, Brittney. I have always enjoyed your flat illustrations as much as your paper sculptures!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I LOVE the colors and shapes! Fantastic work, as always!
ReplyDeleteWonderful work for a lovely cause! And, YES, a paper tutorial would be so captivating to see!

ReplyDeleteamazing as usual! I love the environments your create!
ReplyDeleteI love your papercutting skills. I was wondering if you knew of any other artists who paper cut/sculpt as well? I decided to make my AP art concentration in the paper family (inspired your works). I also decided to finally post a comment instead of sneakily adoring your stuff. I love the Ariel cut you did, did you ever find out who won? Thank you for being amazing!
ReplyDeleteCat.
amazing!!!
ReplyDeletejust love it!
I love the simple geometry of the compositions! Reminds me of Gary Kelly a little
ReplyDeleteyes please do a tutorial for your paper work i've been wanting to make one for a final project.
ReplyDeleteHi Brittney,
ReplyDeleteI had the privilege to meet you at the first CTN Xpo, and have been a big fan of your work since I stumbled across it a few years ago. I love the soft lines, appealing characters and stories, and great colors of your work. Each piece is an inspiration!
Thanks!
I always get so ridiculously happy whenever I see you update. Thank you for creating your beautiful work!!
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful one, Brittney :) Love it! All the best!
ReplyDeletebeautiful stuff here! Nice!
ReplyDeleteThis is beyond beautiful! What a wonderful atmosphere and so cozy...I want to look at this illustration for a long time and discover all of its cute details!
ReplyDeleteChildren will go crazy by seeing this, I'm sure :)
I'm from the same neck of the woods (africa) and have always followed your blog. I feel compelled to comment this post because the illustration is amazing. Everything works, especially how you captured the interaction between the women (just like in the markets back home!) Your work is inspiring to me, thank you for sharing it- art student in london

Hi Brittney! I was in Richard Keyes' class today to hear your talk. I just wanted to say thank you for being so inspirational and motivating. It was great hearing your story about how you got started. I'm about to graduate and am quite scared but after listening to your talk, I feel like I really can do anything I want. So thank you for coming to talk and being so helpful and supportive!
ReplyDeletejust amazing! i stumbled across your illustrations on Etsy and am so thrilled to know you have a blog! was looking through what you had on Etsy, and it had a Disney feel, and I really hope you get to illustrate a movie!! i love your work!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely amazing work! so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteoh wow!Your drawings are so bright that sparkle like diamonds. The colors are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi! Your works are really amazing and an ispiration for me. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you for representing Ghana in such a beautiful, colorful way, showing not just the children, but everyone that Africa is full of life.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying looking through all your posts. I like paper cuts (but not paper cuts!) and utilize them in some of my layered works.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your art......without words....
ReplyDeleteI 2nd the comment above: I as well purchased the Tangled publication you contributed to.
ReplyDeleteWhat can you do when you have the free time? How about to get access to the online games? When we talk about the game, we need to talk about the WOW Gold? As the WOW is the world's most famous online game,all of us knows that we have to get the World Of Warcraft Gold to save money !
The silhouette test is really stunning -- it would be awesome to experiment with a series of designs intended to be in silhouette and glow like this! They'd be BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful the lighting is very nice. If you want me to be completely honest im not too sure about the abundance of watermelons everywhere, but hopefully no one will take it offensively. (there's more than just fruit at a market). no disrespect to you as an artist though the piece is beautiful i love it.
