“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style work from around the world is also welcome!

* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

MODERATION: If you happen to make a mistake upon the above, then please don't worry about it. We'll likely just laugh it off and let you know. OTOH, obvious bad-faith and hostile efforts will not be tolerated here.

I don't remember where I first discovered her art, but it was just about love at first sight. I posted the owl pic before at the loverly c/SuperbOwl, but I wanted to share a bit more of the goodness. So, let's go:


Among the Camellias


Barred Owl

Vasilisa Romanenko is a Connecticut-based illustrator, designer, and fine artist. She creates paintings and drawings inspired by botany, natural history, and textile design. Her artwork depicts the mystery, beauty, and fragility of nature through the use of botanical elements, intricate patterns, and vivid colors.


Elderberries


Aquatic Nocturne

Vasilisa sees her paintings as windows into a magical world, much like the one she enjoyed getting lost in as a child while reading fairy tales. She creates artwork using both traditional and digital mediums. Vasilisa graduated with a degree in Illustration from the Fashion Institute of Technology.


Harvest Mice


Primavera

Much more goodness at her site:

They all have such nice composition!

The symmetry and order of things, the colours... Stunning!

Unfortunately, the website is down.
