Isn’t this tiger charming? Illustrator Kathleen Marcotte created it as part of a group exhibition called Kyootopia with Bree Lundberg and Patu Phan. “We wanted the freedom to interpret ‘cute’ within our own styles,” she tells me, “so we created the mythical land of Kyootopia, where all things are cute!”
The three illustrators divided Kyootopia into nine unique islands and imagined their art as well as the little souvenirs from each locale. Kathleen created Aviation City, Roundabout Island, and Facade Falls.
These delightful works are a mixture of digital works and mixed media pieces. She combined linocut, cut paper, and pencil.
