We are proud to present the latest update on the splendid collaboration between Matt Witt and David Litchfield, an illustrated book about a special little Onion named Oscar.

Matt says: I am so excited to see the first colour illustrations for the book. David has been working so hard and the results are magnificent. The image above is still a work in progress, it is a detail from a double page illustration. We will be reveling more over the next couple of months.

We would love to know what you guys think of this image, please send comments / feedback to creature@creatuermag.com

All January’s Creatures

A gallery of all of last month’s Creatures in one place, for your enjoyment!

 

Nosorog – A zine by Daria Hlazatova

Nosrog - Cover - By Daria Hlazatova

Artist: Daria Hlazatova – Ukraine
Project: Nosorog
Website: dariasgallery.blogspot.co.uk/p/shop.html

This week creature received the first edition of Nosorog zine, a magical little journey into the creative mind of Daria Hlazatova.

Resembling something you might discover in the magazine rack at Gandalf’s house, this zine includes such quirky features as: An interview with Mozart’s wig, Holiday’s in Mordor, personal ads from fairytale creatures, a self penned horoscopes section. Not to mention a selection of short stories, all written by Daria and accompanied by her elegant decorative illustrations.

With a mysterious black cover and yellowing pages adding to its fairytale charm, this zine displays a conscious blurring of the boundaries between art, illustration, creative writing and self publication, with influences from theatre and performance art in there too.

 

Nosrog - By Daria Hlazatova

As with all of Daria’s work Nosorog is the product of an overactive imagination and showcases her keen creative instinct.  She adopts a combination of creative influences and inspirations and stirs them with her own blend of  inward exploration to transport the reader towards a window of insight into her imaginative processes.

Its greatest charm is that you can tell she really enjoyed making it; brimming with love, care and creativity. We hope issue 2 is on its way.
