It’s not art that dominates today’s visual culture and in the U.S. the home of Pop Art they are very aware of this. Over there illustrators are taken more serious as a creative designer and artist. It’s easier to get your illustrations put up in a decent Art gallery in the U.S. then in Holland. Generally the art-scene here is more conservative and traditional as we do have some fresh illustrators and designers but they hardly get exposure.

The paintings of Moira Hahn are very narrative and make me think she was an illustrator before, there’s also a Time cover illustration on the front page of her portfolio. There aren’t many illustrators here in Holland who crossed over from illustration to planet Art. www.moirahahn.com (link via art-bbq)
