While visiting Brianna McCarthy's blog Passion.Fruit, I came across this beautiful piece she created entitled Big Fish. Brianna is known for her dreamy illustrations of doe-eyed brown girls typically drawn in pen, pencil, or painted in acrylics and watercolor; but most recently she's been exploring a similar illustration style but using paper collage and now textiles.
Big Fish is a glorious example of Brianna's experimentation with textiles to create a large scale portrait of one of her girls. I love how layered and textured the image is with all the various prints and patterns. It's so beautiful and I look forward to seeing more of her work with this media.
Check out Brianna's recent cover feature in Arc Magazine, and be sure to visit her blog, Passion.Fruit.
