Sara Fanelli 

Sara Fanelli is an artist and illustrator from Italy. Born in Florence, Fanelli then went on to study at Camberwell College of Art in London. Her work is world renowned and has been used by clients such as the Royal Mail, Penguin Books and The New York Times.

The work above was designed by Fanelli for Penguin Books and Muriel Spark the author of the book My Snobs. I think her works so interesting, the way she has such a particular style which she uses in all her work. The way she combines stick and ink, photography and hand generated text works so well together. I think her work has a really organic natural feel.I think the use of brown paper and everything being hand generated gives me this.

The work above is Fanelli's work for Royal Mail. This is my favourite work from her i think its stunning. I love how bright the stamp is and how a speedy woman on a bike has been used as imagery. This is 'play on' for how quick your mail will be delivered. It also modernises and resembles the traditional postmans bike. 

Again the work above was done for a New York Times Book Review cover. I love how this is showing that the figures brain is full of great things, books, birds and colours. I also like the colours used, there plain and not to bright, they are relaxing on the eyes.
