Campaign Roundup - Stanley

Today on the blog, I wanted to point out an artist campaign that I think you all might be interested in. It features fantastic art by an incredible artist, and if you have not already checked them out, you should do so NOW! 

Shackling - Tales From Baba Yaga's Garden

Today, we have Melissa Sue Stanley's Shackling - Tales From Baba Yaga's Garden. Melissa shares:

Baba Yaga's Hut is a fascination of mine. I've been drawing, painting, sculpting, and writing about her unique mobile home for over a decade. As I work I dream up little stories about different huts in different landscapes - which led me to the question: where do chicken-legged huts come from?

I turned to my sketchbook for the answer, and began imaging all sorts of juvenile huts. Over years and pages of drawings, I created a strange clearing in the middle of the northern woods where a witch called "The Gardener" returns every 17 years.

I love Melissa's work, and I can't wait to get my hands on one of these. I hope you take the time to check out the campaign!

That's all for another exciting week on the blog. See you back here on Monday! Until then...

Melissa Sue Stanley's Make 100 Baba Yaga Huts

First up is Melissa Sue Stanley's Make 100 Baba Yaga Huts. Melissa shares:

The stories of Baba Yaga and her home are captivating: the witch, the wise woman, the mother, the terror, the horsekeeper, the traveler in a strange and monstrous hut.

On some days my head is full of her mystery and lore, finding poetry and art in the dark shadows and thorny paths.

Other days, let’s be honest, I’m just thinking: “Man, that house is rad as heck. I wish I had one I could scramble around the forest and drink tea in.”

Whatever your Baba Yaga mood, this project captures the spirit of long wandering rambles through the moss-filled wood.

And for those that may not know, Melissa Sue Stanley is an illustrator and sculptor from northern Illinois. The lush green and blue landscapes of Midwestern summers are the heart of what inspires her work. She creates creatures in watercolor and sculpture as a way to explore these open fields and deep forests, looking for the small moments of magic and mystery hidden in these environments.  You can find out more about her work at MelissaSueStanley.com.

I am extremely excited about this project. I love Melissa's work. There is a playfullness and whimsy that attraches me to her work. You should definitely help out to make this a reality and get yourself some Baba Yaga huts!

That's all for another exciting week on the blog. See you back here next week! Until then...
