Her work primarily consist of paintings, drawings, mixed media, cut paper, three-dimensional elements, and found objects. Song likes hiking, traveling, and good food over good conversations. Christina’s work is very raw and focused towards children but still retains its appeal and communicated well to adults. With all the digital work popping up left, right and centre, it’s nice to see a bit of traditional, hand made illustration. Christina’s illustrations retain that fun and playful feel, which is so often lost as we become adults but Christina has managed to hold on to it, ultimately giving her illustrations a unique and individual feel.]]> http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/10/christina-song/feed/ 0 http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/10/rubens-lp-2/ http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/10/rubens-lp-2/#comments Fri, 01 Oct 2010 17:46:07 +0000 admin http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/?p=3495 Another feature from a while ago but Rubens LP has updated his website with a new look and some new work. Rubens won the Bongs&Pipes Creative Award this year and continues to build a vast client list. The bright colours and line art style of Rubens work flows really well, producing a beautiful aesthetic.]]> http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/10/rubens-lp-2/feed/ 0 http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/09/dale-murray/ http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/09/dale-murray/#comments Thu, 30 Sep 2010 18:27:31 +0000 admin http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/?p=3491 Freelance illustrator Dale Murray has an outstanding portfolio with a vast array of work. The simple shapes and pastel colours work incredibly well together, which ultimately, portrays his message very clearly. Overall just some really nice illustration and typography in a portfolio that is packed with brilliant work.]]> http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/09/dale-murray/feed/ 0 http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/09/juan-behrens/ http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/09/juan-behrens/#comments Tue, 28 Sep 2010 18:16:48 +0000 admin http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/?p=3485 The internet has made the world a small place and whatever you think about that, you can’t deny that it has allowed us to share creativity and inspiration all over the world, even from places like Venezuela which is where Juan Behrens comes from. He has a diverse and incredible portfolio, full of colour and imagination. I think it’s quite easy to say that Juan has a natural talent and is passionate about what he creates.]]> http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/09/juan-behrens/feed/ 0 http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/09/josh-evans/ http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/09/josh-evans/#comments Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:39:11 +0000 admin http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/?p=3476 The Illustrator, Josh Evans has recently published his online zine, which weirdly enough is about a scam email from Africa in regard to a film script that includes action, snakes, intrigue, and golf. Incredibly weird but that’s why it works and Josh has found a way to put this across in a set of really stylish set of black and white illustrations with some nice typography. His other work has a really nice style, there is a lot of variety.]]> http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/09/josh-evans/feed/ 0 http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/saad-mooasjee/ http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/saad-mooasjee/#comments Wed, 24 Feb 2010 20:24:01 +0000 admin http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/?p=1999 Saad Mooasjee is one of those guys that has a natural talent when it comes to illustration. Saad taught himself to create these brilliant digital images and has gained great recognition all over the world from his work.]]> http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/saad-mooasjee/feed/ 0 http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/jules-julien/ http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/jules-julien/#comments Wed, 17 Feb 2010 23:52:51 +0000 admin http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/?p=1995 Every now and then we come across an artist and wonder why we don’t know of them. Jules Julien has an impressive client list and been part of a number of exhibitions, namely his solo show coming up in Zurich on the 25th February which runs till 12th March. Jules’ work is clean yet incredibly clever and how he can make an illustration so in-depth using very colour is brilliant.]]> http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/jules-julien/feed/ 0 http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/chris-martin/ http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/chris-martin/#comments Wed, 17 Feb 2010 23:40:43 +0000 admin http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/?p=1991 Chris Martin is an awesome illustrator who has recently graduated from Southampton Solent Uni. We pretty much spent a fair bit of time trawling through Chris’ blog at his work just because each drawing is so good. The sense of humour and talent that Chris puts forward in his illustrations a breath of fresh air and a real change to the usual stuff we see.]]> http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/chris-martin/feed/ 0 http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/ryan-mclennan/ http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/ryan-mclennan/#comments Tue, 16 Feb 2010 18:01:15 +0000 admin http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/?p=1987 These paintings of specific animals by Ryan Mclennan are really quite something. The surreal, abstract look to these images are really unique. The images are so intricate and the way they are interacting with the rest of the scene is really nice. Ryan has some really nice ideas and a great imagination which he is able to visually show throughout these great paintings.]]> http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/ryan-mclennan/feed/ 0 http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/ben-wiseman/ http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/ben-wiseman/#comments Mon, 08 Feb 2010 21:38:48 +0000 admin http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/?p=1969 Check out Ben Wiseman’s design work. A brilliant example of well executed, clean cut design work,the majority of which is some lovely book covers. It’s well worth checking out this work if  typography or book cover design is your thing.]]> http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/ben-wiseman/feed/ 0
