I can see what search terms are bringing people to this groovy blog and I’m always surprised that the term “cartoon waves” is at the top of the list, everyday! Who are these people who constantly need images of cartoon waves? I did the search myself and realized it was because of my post on Meander. In poking around from there I came upon the totally awesome Stephanie Kubo and her amazing drawings, which are like Meander’s 2D work…on speed!
She works with tons of repetitive circles and other line shapes. They look like weaving, which is part of what I love most.
I can’t even imagine the patience that it takes to do these pieces and the steadiness of hand!
The above work is called “Coral,” which everyone knows is one of my favorite things. Interestingly, I feel like the circular drawings really represent the texture that coral can have with the peaks and valleys. I would need a compass to do this!
I really encourage everyone to check out her whole site. I had to stop myself at seven images to share here but it’s really unbelievable the scope of the drawing that she’s creating especially these ven diagram type ones. I wish some of her black and white images were available for sale on a large scale too.
Or fabric – how great would the above image be as a reprint on fabric for pillows? What’s interesting is how these look like they’re undulating and they’re just repeated shapes, so awesome.
Love the above – how cool. I’m not sure what these notepads are that she’s showing on her site, if they’re actual scans of her notepad that’s fabulous. Again, I’d take a huge one of these for my walls.
Pretty groovy.
