-BD = "Bandes dessinées"

Misty Moors

She's an independent artist, illustrator and photographer based in Finland.


The Night Garden

"I mostly make dream-like illustrations with fairytale, fantasy and nature themes. I work in a variety of styles that are based on various kinds of tools and techniques. I paint with watercolours or varied types of inks, and I draw with pens or coloured pencils."


Escape

"I mix traditional techniques a lot, and some of my works are partly digital. Even when I finish pieces in Photoshop, I like to do it by editing and combining drawings and textures that I’ve first created traditionally."


Valley at Full Moon

"Wild nature is definitely the most inspiring thing. Old-growth forests are an endless source of ideas, magic and peace of mind, and I try to visit the woods as often as possible. I also use my innate life as a fuel for my work – things like my dreams, memories, fears and hopes – but the way they sneak into my art tends to be subliminal, rather than intentional."
