It has been a while since I've done a spotlight on an artist in these parts. But in light of getting things together, I ran across a piece of paper with a name scrawled across. Anton Van Hertbruggen. I have lots of these papers tucked under other papers in my art dresser. Because it didn't ring any bells, I looked him up and was greatly rewarded.
I actually own one of his illustrations! It is really a book, but I stretched it out to the full panorama and have it hanging in our bedroom. Bonus points because it is double-sided with two different stories. Memoires of a Suburban Utopia is available for purchase here. Because he is from Belgium, his blog is in Dutch, but can easily be translated via google translate. His work has such a great use of color and texture...so inspiring! But enough with the talk, lets get to actually seeing his work.
