O dear (o deer?!) I can’t remember for the life of me where I found Raquel Aparicio, but whatever web wonder introduced me to her first deserves much credit indeed. I hope it wasn’t from the IF blog itself… I hope I’m not repeating a post!

But regardless, I love her work. It is at once whimsical and dangerous. I’m really intrigued by the interaction of character and nature in art and Raquel offers splendidly original takes on both.

See more of her work on her blog here. It would be helpful I suppose if you are fluent in Spanish (Raquel lives, works and teaches in Madrid), but the illustrations are breath taking!
