Vikki Yeates, illustrator (36)

A simple post today, only because I find it weirdly and wonderfully coincidental that within a minute, in two different contexts (well, both on FB), I found these two illustrations that are, basically, identical, and yet not.

"Protection" by British illustrator Vikki Yeates,
oil pastel with scraped away lino ink

"Safety" (2022) by Russian illustrator Anna Speshilova,
pastel pencils and watercolor

I much prefer Yeates's style, and sensibility. Although both artists focus on myth, fairytales, and animals, Yeates is more stylized, less pretty. Here are a few more of her works:

Affinity

Elemental


Raven and Ivy

Sebak
