Guest Blog Post by Cori Kindred: Favorite Illustrators

Cori Kindred here again with a few of my favorite illustrators and painters. I think because all I can manage are little doodles (for the most part I prefer to take photos and play with paper and fabric) I really admire those who can draw and paint. here are some of the artists i'm loving lately.
