Sunday Evening Art Gallery — Andrew Fox

January 15, 2025 ~ humoringthegoddess ~ 5 Comments

Andrew Fox is a designer and illustrator based in London.Fox has created a series of minimalist animal drawings using only a calligraphy pen and black ink.The result is rather amazing considering that he created each character with only a few strokes.Fox’s style is characterized by its deceptive simplicity that creates individuality and character.His illustrations create entities that have unique personalities of their own.

These few strokes allow viewers to make their own interpretations of these teeny animals.

Fox’s work is a testament to the power of simplicity in design, demonstrating how a few well-placed strokes can convey not only shape but also emotion and character.

Peeking Back Into the Gallery — Pencil/Pen Drawings

March 22, 2024 ~ humoringthegoddess ~ 7 Comments

People’s creativity comes out in many ways. Swinging a hammer, melting gold or glass, shoving a needle in and out of fabric — so many ways to share your magic and your way of thinking!

Even if you are thinking in an out-of-the-box way.

Flipping through past galleries, I thought I’d bring back a few artists whose pen was mightier than their sword — or their hammer. “Pencil in” some time to go back and wander!

Dmitry Lamonov is an artist from St. Petersburg, Russia who combines tradition and modernity in his calligraphy.

Lamonov was born in 1987 in Leningrad, and in 2008 began his career as a graphic designer.His work has been inspired by Old Slavonic letterforms, characterized by motives of Russian culture — elements of Russian ornaments and traditional Russian writing (ligature).These motifs, combined with modern graphics, create a distinctive, recognizable style.Having studied the basics of the traditional Russian writing, Lamonov saw the potential in it and was so fascinated that he started using the basics in his various artworks.“It inspires me to combine the incompatible,” Lamonov explains.“My principle is that there’s always a concept behind a work, preferably one easy to be comprehended. And the form through which you comprehend this idea is secondary, but still of no less importance.“My form of expressing ideas is basically calligraphy and printing.”More of Dmitry Lamonov‘s unique calligraphy can be found at http://lamonov.art/ and https://www.instagram.com/dimalamonov/.
