The Orange Studio: Helen Dardik Freebie

We are generally not a review blog, but when I came across The Orange Studio, I just had to share.
Helen Dardik , the designer and illustrator behind the Orange Studio creates unique and colorful illustrations...I would say whimsical, but I don't think that it does justice to her style.
According to her bio , after spending several years in Siberia ( of all places) and then later Israel, she began working as a freelance illustrator and later graphic designer.
If her work looks familiar to you, that is because in addition to selling her art at her store The Orange Studio (based out of Canada) she has also done work for Nick Jr Magazine, the Boston Globe, American Girl , Hallmark and several major publishing companies.

In addition to illustrations , she also has paintings, patterns and toys! Of course her prints are less expensive and available at approx $25USD with her paintings going for much larger price at $400. But now in appreciation for her fans, she has made these bookplates with her lovely illustrations available for download( for personal use only) so you can get a little piece of her illustrations in the ongoing recession.
