About me: Yelena Shabrova, an artist and web designer who lives and works in Silicon Valley, Ca. See more of my art at shabrova.com or visit duskowl.com for everything that has to do with graphic design and web development.We had less people this time than a year ago, but it was still nice to see what other artists were working on and to talk to them. Mom & Son shared the 2nd place with Anju Bhagavan’s work – can’t recall the title right now…

Just look what can be done with sticky Post-It notes!

I got to know Koldo’s awesome illustrations and fascinating stories through a fellow web designer, Naomi Niles. She posted links to a few illustrations by her husband in the group we both belong to, and they grabbed me right away.
Koldo’s work is very unique and delightfully magical. It’s a pleasure to walk through his world, look at funny and unusual characters he creates and read their stories. One of the best things I can do after a busy day is coming to his site and forget about the real world for a few moments.
