Sanya Glisic is an illustrator and printer located in Chicago, who cleverly creates dynamic imagery with the use of a few colors (combing muted and saturated) underneath lines varying in thickness and depth. I first fell in love with Sanya’s work through her zodiac series being sold through her Etsy shop Horsedrawn Carriage. Jason and I own the two screenprints shown above; I find myself getting lost in the details, studying the fine line work in awe.
Sanya’s illustrations perfectly marry the foul and eerie feeling behind the cautionary tales in the 19th century German publication of Struwwelpeter. In 2010 she reprinted the tales alongside the illustrations inspired by them in her own artist book.
