The Illustrator Peter George
The artist Peter George, from Leicestershire, England, captures humor in many of his illustrations. You can find more of his work at at his website www.worldofpetergeorge.com. Peter enjoys capturing images of humans the most but also is "equally happy drawing machines, mushrooms or monsters".
I absolutely love the angry little face on the obviously upset candle as the lightbulb smiles cheekily knowing he is the face of "Progress".
The piece below, titled "The Sky is Falling", is another work by Peter George that wonderfully exhibits the amusement he finds and creates in the world. You can see the people walking around with colorful pillows tied to their heads.
Although, no sky IS falling they walk around prepared for what could happen but probably will not; with very little concern on their faces. This particular piece is also "pen and ink with a watercolor wash" just as the first illustration.
Visit Peter George's website @ www.worldofpetergeorge.com. You can also find more of Peter George's work and his thoughts at "The Blog Of Peter George".
I hope you have enjoyed your introduction to this artist and find him as whimsical and humorous as I.
Peace, Love, and Handmade Paper,
Erin
