Maria.

One of my arty mother's mates, Maria Slovakova, has some lovely line illustrations. Not only this but one of my most fondest memories is going down the pub with my mother and her boyfriend to hear some of Maria's poetry, alongside David's(my mums BF LOL!) music and enjoying the fact that the age old pub is plastered with Maria's pieces and experiments.

I like her work as it is abstract visual language in a way and it also looks great. Her approach to the "work ethic" is brilliant. From what I've seen of her, she has gotten known quite quickly and her freelance work ranges from vans to plates.

...Anyway, here is her work, she recently had a show in London, she is also on twitter
