Vintage storybook imagery from ‘the good old days’ has become a very popular subject for a lot of artists. I love it too, but now there is so much work that looks exactly the same, your eye almost skips right over it… Yep, seen it. Moving along. What’s impressive though, is when an artist can take this very established, cliche, over-used visual vocabulary and truly make it their own. That’s how I chose the five artists featured in ‘Uphill Both Ways‘. All of them have found a way to make what is old, new again… each in a very unique way.
