The current post of mamutopia, inspired me today in an unexpected way. Maartje posted about the cd of Eefje de Visser she was listening to. I was impressed by the design and illustrations of Eefjes website and her cd-booklet. It turned out to be the work of Iris Deppe. (The also beautiful typography and layout of Eefjes cd is from Larisa Wiegant.) Iris´ work shows a wide variety of projects she works on: websites, cd-booklets, postcards, illustrations for magazines and so on. I think it would be great if you can make beautiful things without the limitation of just one medium. Here are some nice picks, but there´s more interesting stuff to see on her website.

Then, looking through her portfolio, I discovered we had a mutual interest and that we´ve even met before! Iris also joined the workshop illustration on ceramics by Kim Welling, I attended a while ago. Back then, I liked the idea of the design she was going to make for here ceramics. She took a drawing from her childhood and transferred it into a design to put on her plates and bowls. I didn´t see the result of her work untill now. It looks so nice! Great that an old drawing can inspire like this!
