Ah, Autumn, my favourite season! The trees have changed their green foliage for a more suitable orange one, and Halloween is around the corner. To put you in the mood, here’s a list of 6 artists that, to me, embody the autumn spirit.

There is something very comforting about Chloe Joyce’s illustrations. Perhaps it is her use of somewhat muted colours in warm shades of pink and green, or perhaps it is because they show scenes of time spent in the intimacy of home. These private and cosy moments make me feel close to these women as I identify myself with them.
No need to say that I find these illustrations oh-so-lovely, and if you fancy seeing more of Chloe Joyce’s work –which I strongly recommend; you can do so via her website or her Etsy shop.
Kincso Nagy has been making this collection of all the Harry Potter books for her Bachelor’s degree. Her version of the famous books not only glow in the dark but one of them (The Philisopher’s Stone) even has amazing pop-up illustrations in it! As an all-time Harry Potter fan, I couldn’t not love them (they are so magical!) and I really wish she could sell them!

Touchka Fashion Tales was founded by Jenny Lumelsky and Tomer Ronen out of their love for storytelling. Their intention was to create timeless pieces, between illustration and fashion, for elegant women.
What to say except that these gorgeous scarves are definitely on top of my wishlist. All of them of course.

Using a retro style, John Holcroft illustrates problems of this day and age. Combining a 1950s aesthetic with a very simple and understandable style, the British illustrator makes the viewer think about issues and flaws of society.

When I found Romanian artist Aitch’s work online, via The Jealous Curator’s blog, I instantly fell in love. I mean, who wouldn’t? These packagings are just too cute to be true. I wish they were real though. Anyway, I ended up browsing the artist’s website and I LOVE pretty much everything this artist makes. Look at these:
Aren’t these simply amazing? Yes, yes they are.
Becca Stadtlander is an American illustrator and artist. She has been working for The New-York Times, Penguin Books and HarperCollins amongst others and I definitely understand why. Her work is bright but not bold, beautifully detailed and poetic. I love them and especially the ones with a warm palette. Perfect treat for Autumn! (PS: you can buy her gorgeous prints on her etsy shop). More of her art here.
Aren’t these super super pretty? Yes? I LOVE them (I wish my sketchbook looked like that). Inspired by her childhood memories, vintage treasures and “the weird and wacky”, Danielle Kroll has taken the mission of brightening up our day. She definitely succeeded.
Unfortunately, I do not know the name of the artist who made these brilliant illustrations. What I do know though, is that they’re awesome, and you can find them on SautterPictures‘s etsy shop.
