Sydney Smith Sketchbook

Stumbled upon this person/tumblr - they provide no details as to their identity.

She is an illustrator, with a particularly interesting process of working, using line and tone to express mood (the piece below is an example of which), I think it would be interesting to explore this process further but in my a more non-representational way. Also, in terms of presentation - I really like her clean cut website.
 Just a record for me to follow her really.

I have just discovered these webcomic by K. Beaton and I just love how her passion for history feeds into her illustrations. The image above is a series of imagined blurbs, inspired by the real front covers. I think they're clever and amusing, sometimes it's OK to judge a book by its cover I suppose.
