The post Runa Pocket is Paying Homage to Our Favorite Animated Classics With Her Latte Art appeared first on MobiSpirit.
]]>Runa Kato, the mastermind behind Runa Pocket, specializes in “touchable” 3D latte art and she’s been doing this since 2018. She’s on a quest to overturn the way people look at latte art, and she describes herself as “a latte artist who creates a lot of happiness with a cup of latte” on her official website.
加藤 瑠菜(Runa Kato) (@runapocket)Runa is definitely succeeding in her mission to change the way people look at latte art since she’s one of the most successful latte artists in her home country of Japan. She appeared on several TV shows, collaborated with high-profile clients, and attracted over 90,000 followers to her Instagram page since embarking on this journey.
Runa’s latte creations usually take shape of beloved animated characters, that move in a cup when touched. Pokémon is her biggest source of inspiration, with her latte art taking shape of Pikachu, Snorlax, and Squirtle, but she’s no stranger to making lattes inspired by other movies, such as Minions and Disney classics.

]]>While visiting Bali, Brown found herself inspired by the local tattoo artists and illustrators. They were all working digitally, which turned out to be the triggering point for her to become a digital artist.
“I never thought I was that patient when it came to creating art, so I loved any medium that allowed me to bring my vision to life quickly. This is why digital art has changed my life! I love using the Procreate App. It has really allowed me to experiment and bring my ideas to life without wasting any medium,” she said in an interview for Ballpit. She also added that before discovering the digital world, she would work with watercolors and posca pens.
Although she is still working on her color palettes, one thing is for sure: fashion illustration will always be her number one influence.
“I love drawing people and characters that represent a certain mood that is usually bold and sassy. I would say my alter ego shines through most of the characters I draw,” she explained. “My overall style consists of a quirky concoction of current trends mixed with playful color palettes resulting in bold stylized characters.”

]]>As part of The Litter Bugs project, Oliver uses found objects and materials to craft all sorts of colorful insects. This includes repurposing metal brooches into beetles, crafting flies out of baits and playing cards, and making bugs out of cricket balls.
“The Litter Bugs are a postmodern exploration and re-working of Victorian insect collections and taxonomy,” Oliver shares on his website.
According to the artist, the primary goal of his found-material bugs is to encourage viewers to give each insect a “closer inspection” and discover all of the things that were used to make them. Sometimes it’s obvious but other times, you really need to look hard.
“I use collage and assemblagé of found and crafted objects to create an artistic illusion, one I hope will seduce the viewer into closer inspection of each bug,” he explains.
Oliver’s The Litter Bugs have been exhibited in various international art galleries and featured in museum exhibitions. The artist also regularly shares his newest works on social media. Continue scrolling to check out more of them below.

]]>Crick is a founder of the company New Baginnings, which sells handbags made out of discarded sofas, couches, old jeans, and every other material that would usually end in the garbage. Her creations are stylish, affordable, sustainable, and eco-friendly.
According to Crick, she came up with this unique idea when she was about to throw away her old curtains. Thinking it would be a waste to discard perfectly good material, she tried to make luggage and later a small bag out of it. While her initial experiment didn’t go according to plan, it inspired her to keep trying.
Soon enough, Crick perfected her skills and started getting creative with sourcing her material. She discovered that old leather sofas are her favorite, as she can make several quality bags out of one piece of furniture. On top of that, the stuffing that she doesn’t need can be donated for other purposes, like creating dog beds.
“The sofa bags are flying off the shelves,” Crick shared in a recent interview. “I see people with my bags I get such a sense of pride.”

]]>According to Reed, she started getting interested in embroidery after taking a Textile Art course in school. She picked up some basic techniques but opted not to pursue it further as she was more interested in drawing and painting. It was only after she finished university that she found a way back to embroidery.
After picking up needles and threads once again, Reed discovered it to be a therapeutic practice and started practicing it more frequently. Then in 2018, she created an embroidery pet portrait as a Christmas gift for a friend and realized that she has a real knack for this type of art. It wasn’t long before she decided to pursue embroidery as a full-time career, creating a successful business that helps people all around the world to express love for their pets in a unique way.
Reed is also attempting to get more people involved in embroidery, believing everyone can do it with some work and patience.
“I truly believe that everybody has the ability to create something amazing with a little patience, and I want more people to believe that too,” says Reed on her official website.

]]>Most of the characters featured in Bowsher’s illustrations have some quirky and unexpected dimensions to them. This can be anything from a bear wearing cowboy boots and reading a book to an aristocratic crocodile who comes bearing gifts.
You can see Bowsher’s works in numerous ways. Besides posting them on social media, the artist also released several books, has several murals across London, and did a design of strawberry-flavored beer produced by Camden Town Brewery.
One curiosity about Bowsher is that she actually never intended to pursue a career in illustration. She originally studied Fine Arts but discovered it wasn’t for her. She later switched to Graphics, where one professor noticed her gift for illustration and encouraged her to explore it further.
Bowsher decided to give it a try and never regretted it once.
“I enjoy creating things that make people smile,” she shared in a recent interview with Creative Boom. “Sometimes it can feel a bit pointless drawing silly things all day, but I think there is some importance in giving people some sweet relief from relentless bad news.”

]]>Our recent design inspiration comes from California-based illustrator Leah Goren. Zooming in on domestic life, Goren’s illustrations feature a healthy dose of houseplants and natural patterns. Collaborations include brands and publications like Anthropologie, The New York Times, Penguin Random House, Vanity Fair, and Urban Outfitters.
On top of her work as an illustrator, Goren also works as a surface pattern designer, which means her floral patterns can be spotted on an array of products including fabrics, ceramics, and even storage bins.
“I like making patterns because they repeat endlessly and I don’t feel restricted to containing my drawing within a box,” Goren remarked once in an interview with Spoonflower. “I’m always interested in home interiors, and I’d love to see my patterns on wallpaper or an upholstered chair or couch.”
Indeed, scrolling through her feed you can’t help but be inspired to freshen up your living space by introducing more natural elements to it. One might argue that plants make any space look beautiful. But it’s good to note that they also have a positive impact on your health and mood—a true win-win when it comes to rethinking our home life in the days after COVID-19.
