Kipling West's meticulous illustrations command your attention. At first glance, the prismatic colors and flowing line work grab your eyeballs. Tight detail and pulsating composition impress and inspire as the image unfolds to reveal hidden creatures and mysterious symbols. After that, you simply fall into the page and become happily engulfed in a strange and beautiful wonderland. If you're seeking a delightful diversion, head over to Kipling's "Tales From The Moleskine" series and prepare to be dazzled. Above, Cathedral of Jellyfish.
She creates these images by narrating her life experiences in the form of a visual diary. Says Kipling, "My moleskine work is a kind of a visual diary; some stuff is private symbols, some things I don't understand till after I draw them and then 'oh, that's how that fits together.'" Above, Children of the Narcissus, a cathartic release of the frustration of growing up with a narcissistic parent.
Kittens in the Toilet is inspired by a childhood memory of false accusations experienced during summer camp.
Kipling's work always makes me so very happy. It's so rich and delicious! Wonderful post 14!
