Yesterday, Lark Rising collaborator and very good friend Ruth Ishbel Munro popped by the studio with a pile of old drawings ... Oh my, with what glee we pounced upon them!
Ruth graduated in 2008 from the University Of Brighton with a BA Hons in Illustration and she continues to work in Brighton as a freelance illustrator. Her work is an emotive amalgamation of everyday mundane life and extreme surrealism.
The treasures Ruth bestowed upon us are shown below: some original sketches for some of her more well known artworks, as well as few random curiosities thrown in the mix - parsnip chip anyone?
'Plunger', part of Ruth's 2008 graduate show.
This study for 'Butterfly Net' demonstrates a Ruth's penchant for the macabre - a dreadful child, catching butterflies and nailing them live onto the page!
Cat chewing a girls foot.
Most cat owners will be familiar with this cat-to-toe maneuver (usually at 4am when the duvet has uncovered said toe).
Original prints, paintings and drawings by Ruth are available at www.ruthishbelmunro.co.uk and www.boxbird.co.uk. She also does super commissions.
