Kazuno Kohara

Japanese illustrator Kazuno Kohara has produced these two fabulous books. It is quite hard to find images of her other work, which I would love to see, as I'm sure it would be fantastic. A lot of the book images are made using linocut prints. http://www.picturebookparade.com/authors-illustrators/authors/kazuno-kohara

Angie Renfro

Texas born Angie Renfro moved to San Francisco for her art degree. After graduating, she worked as an industrial designer until 2005. After this, unsure what to do, she took a gamble, and gave herself a 6 month period to build up a portfolio and see if she could make it as an artist. Before 6 months had past, she sold her first painting at a local gallery show and was offered representation at a gallery which took the rest of the 40 paintings she had completed.... and now her career is soaring! http://angierenfro.com/
