Cutesy artists?

[boadle]

hi guys,

I'm trying to find inspiration for a project I'm working on, and I'm looking for 'cutesy' art in a similar vein to Ferry Halim (www.orisinal.com) and Anne Pätzke (http://www.trenchmaker.de).

Can anyone offer me any suggestions of artists? I'm particularly interested in landscapes rendered in cuddly style, if that makes sense.

Thanks in advance,

Lewis

Raymond Briggs sort of does it with The Snowman (although cutesy really isn't his usual subject matter).

These MEOMI ones seem a little more appropriate though. I'm afraid I don't know enough cutesy art. :(

Hope that helps.

I feel like my brain isn't firing right now, because there are some on the tip of my brain but I just can't get the names out. One you might check out is Mike Dutton (http://www.duttonart.net/)

Lewis! Hello sir... Probably not quite what you want but some of his characters are cutesy, Tim Biskup. Do a search on Google images. There are a few 'Juxtapoz' type artists that might fit your bill as well. But my brain isn't working today either...

Thank you all, some very useful reference there!
