Angie Hoffmeister

I came across Angie Hoffmeister's work (www.yellowghost.net) on www.fuckyeahillustration.tumblr.com. This image was posted and I went on to investigate her other work. I feel like too many illustrators rely too much on the computer in the wrong ways. Digital artwork can be fantastic, and using software to add color or effects is one thing but far too often do I feel like traditional illustrators correct "mistakes" after the image is scanned. As an illustrator who works in watercolor I sometimes find myself fighting the urge to succumb to editing out every little imperfection once I have a digital copy of my painting. It is the imperfections in a painting that keep it unique. I like that Hoffmeister's work has a very hand done intimate feeling to it. The ink and watercolor seem to almost be from a sketchbook page. Also, who doesn't like drawing or looking at drawings of antlers, birds, and piles of leaves? I know I do.
