Tuesday Talent - Maiwenn Philouze


 Maiwenn Philouze is a young French illustrator, graphic designer and sometime rabbit maker.  She is a graduate of LISAA (École d’Arts Appliqués et de Design) and also holds a degree in Art History.  She is much travelled but currently lives in Brittany.

Her Confiture de Paillettes or Glitter Jam project seems to be a personal project looking at design and branding of a children's toy.  Her design is adorable, with a restrained palette and charming detail.  If you look at her Pinterest pages at Maiwenn or her website to be found at www.maiwennphilouze.com, you will see the branding for the project as well as more shots of her delightful bunnies.  Not only has she designed and made her rabbits but she has hand printed much of the fabric for the bunny hats.  I love the long pink gloves - tres chic.

Sadly she is not taking any commissions at the moment but seems open to contact. Her website is lovely and showcases much more of her talent. If you have enjoyed the wonderful work of Maiwenn have a peep also at the work of Lieschen Mueller, another European designer, this time from Oberursel in Germany. Again with that same very muted colour palette and truly original, quirky characters, less sweet but more folk art, Lieschen Mueller's work is well worth checking out.
