Enjoy Ballad Folk. We certainly got lost in her website for um, lets say a few hours?

Whilst looking through her blog, we may have well as being in the National Gallery as her work has a very old school, fine art essense about it. We do love anyone who has an appreciation for such art. Something a bit different today, and oh boy it’s refreshing.

Let’s relive Petra Doe through the wonderfully dark illustrations by Miranda Foxx. The selfconfessed whiskey drinker has an obvious love for the morbid and darker side of life, so step into her world (if you dare, of frail dead butterfly wings, whiskey and murder sillouhettes. Its a creepy one.

It’s not often we get to quote SUGGS, so today is a good day. This is just one of many shoots by the talented Laura Cammarata over on her website that has caught our attention, so rather than show you the lot, we thought we would tempt you over there with this dewy country garden treat.
