Nina Chakrabarti is a successful illustrator, she is based in London but is originally from India. She produced a beautiful series of images in which she drew all over prints of models faces with a pen to create tribal masks- this was exclusively done for I Want You Magazine! Her work is so eye catching that even Topshop have said her work reminds them of one of their own collections and used these images on their Blog.
My favourite image out of all of them is this top one, The tiny intricate details Nina has put in is beautiful, the illustration itself is not perfect, its clearly hand drawn and quite kitsch which is what gives it that charm. The girls hair is so large and the colour of a tigers mane, this makes me think of Africa and the wild around these people that use it to inspire them in their art... this could be me totally over thinking it, but it is what I see and I like it.
This is a very photo heavy blog post, but I wanted every single image to be large so I could really take in all of the individual designs and intricate details!
