the wild unknown





I L O V E these prints from artist collective, The Wild Unknown.
The line drawings of wild flowers and feathers have been screenprinted onto heavy cotton paper and then hand-coloured with watercolours, so each print is slightly different.

I love them both, but if I had to choose between them, I think the second one, Flowers and Feathers, is my favourite. Peonies are awesome and lavender has won me over, even though I hated it when I was a kid. Both plants are flourishing in my garden, which is no thanks to me as I have inherited my mum's terrible gift for killing plants. She's, like, a plant whisperer, but if plant whisperers were evil and just wanted plants to give up and die already.

The two prints are available, in limited editions of 100, from their website.

I totally, totally WANT one.
