i’m jealous of julia pott
Ah yes, awkward bears in loud knitwear, love from a distance, and what I can only assume to be a polar bear with a crush on a boy named Keith Nash. I am jealous of these illustrations, and I’m jealous of this very sweet, award winning, animation titled My First Crush {fyi: the polar bear that loves Keith Nash is a rough from this film}. And really, can you blame me? The work of London based illustrator / animator Julia Pott makes everyone jealous! I have seen her work on just about every art blog that exists… including this one! {In 2009, I included her beautiful sketchbook in my very first ‘Jealously Curated’ show, Peep Show}.
Love these! And the really funny thing is that I was sketching the EXACT same speckled bear (the first pic) as a study for a painting about 2 weeks ago!!! I kid you not! http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/staticfiles/NGS/Shared/StaticFiles/animals/images/primary/spectacled-bear.jpg
I know! Her work is amazing!! I love that she draws some of the less known animals like moon bears, bush babies, and red pandas.
Great stuff.
wow heather, you weren’t kidding! that’s him alright… without the sweater of course.
I’m so jealous of her it burns my heart. I mean, she’s an incredible illustrator AND makes fantastic animations. What more can you want?
