Postcard Inspiration - Sanna Annuka

For my postcard brief i have started to look at Sanna Annuka's work that focuses on folklore and fairy tale type imagery. Sanna Annuka is an illustrator and printmaker with a love for nature and folklore from Finland. Below is some examples of her work that i find inspiring, and there is also a little explanation of each design that is taken from her website here

the owl keeper -
Meet 'The Owl Keeper' she roams the forests of the North, the glow of her lantern illuminating the way.
