French illustrator Emmanuelle Ly possesses a raw appeal that stands out in polished, modern times. Her work is primal but concise. Her attention to detail is skewed by an abstract subconscious. This influence results in a body of work that features an unique focus on iconography, typography, and portraiture.
Challenging herself to draw a new illustration each day on her huge illustrated rhizome aptly named DAILY SKETCH CROSSING (D*S*C), Ly is currently paddling down an endless river of artistic inspiration. These black and white endeavors are sometimes humorous and starkly haunting.
