Art Blogging: Kiriko Moth

Kiriko Moth is an American graphic designer and illustrator. She studied at Middle Tennessee State University in Nashville Murfreesboro and lives in San Francisco. I was immediately taken with her colorful, heavy-lined drawings, which remind me of the work of Alphonse Mucha -- and whose work Moth claims as influential. Her works are like majestic slices from unwritten fantasy novels. You can read an interview with her here.

Is it just my imagination or is she drawing herself in those two portraits?

Hey, my son just started MTSU and it's in Murfreesboro, not Nashville. But it was a near-miss...

Yeah, it does kind of look like that, doesn't it?

I'm with Dan. Several of her pictures look like she at least used herself as the model. But good stuff.
