London based Italian artist Naomi Vona is today’s subscribing member in the spotlight! Naomi and I have been following each other since waaaaay before Instagram even existed… we even met at a pub in Dublin years ago (random? yep.). Here’s a snippet from her ‘about’ page:

The artist defines herself as an "archival parasite, with no bad intentions". Her works combine different interests like photography, collages and illustration. Her research is focused on altering vintage and contemporary found images, creating a new interpretation of the original shots. Using pens, paper, washi tape and stickers she gives every image a new life. Every work is basically composed of three elements: her life background, her inspirations and subconscious, that is also the glue that puts all together. 

That’s the best kind of glue! Now, I happen to own the original of the first piece above, but don’t worry, Naomi has it available in prints of all sizes ;) Check out her shop, and find her on Instagram at @mariko_koda.

Did you know I send an ART-FILLED newsletter every day of the week, along with this Saturday email? I do! Not only do I feature a new fabulous artist every day, I also include a quick, artsy tidbit depending on the day:

Monday is all about motivation; Tuesday takes a peek into an artist’s studio (and sometimes art residencies in gorgeous locations); Wednesday provides a creative prompt to get your juices flowing; Thursday is a chance to ask your creative questions to me and the rest of this lovely community; and Friday is either an “Art Flick” reco, or a “Find”… ie., wearable art, affordable prints, functional ceramics, etc.

All of THIS for just $3 / month?! Yes! All you have to do is click this button riiiight here:

Have a great weekend! ~ Danielle
