Mona Lisa Moments: The Rummage Bin

Lesley Langdon, the illustrator of The Rummage Bin stamp line by Cornish Heritage Farms is a very special woman. She has a unique illustration and design style that is so fresh. Not only that, but she is just a pleasure for an Art Director to work with. Lucky me!

She has been working on a line of images that I think are so original. (And trust me, I see a lot of artwork) I often describe The Rummage Bin as "Urban Grunge with a feminine touch". I guess that description was memorable as that is how Stacey Julian reported it at CHA! :)

Ok, stop yacking right? We will be releasing Lesley's first two collage images this Tuesday. Yes, this is a single image and it's called "Sweet Little One". FAB-U-LOUS right?!?! ACK!!! See what I am saying about urban grunge? It's modern AND grungy! Yummy. I can't wait to start creating ATC's and mixed media pieces with these images. And how about you Ranger junkies? Can we say techniques for stampy stampers? Whoooo hoooo!
