Adventures Untold
Sometimes I come across these really lovely illustrators who seem to have captured all those loose imaginings and daydreams one experiences and put them in a concrete form with pen and paint. To me, Rachel Bone is one of those artists. Her paintings are whimsical and surreal, but there seems to be this underlying foundation of reality and little experiences...it starts as an ordinary bicycle ride and ends with adventures untold. It's those little flights of fancy your mind takes while you're doing a mundane activity.all Rachel Bone

these are lovely!
my favourite is the traffic cone. my friends and I used to "cone" each other....stealing traffic cones and leaving them on peoples porches, cars, beds, anything. so much illegal fun.
Another lovely post, Rebecca! You never stop inspiring or influencing me...
My favorite picture the one of the tree branch. There is something so delicate about it, and it's also distinctly feminine. I want to put it on my wall.

I visited her blog.
She must is really talented!
Thanks for sharing it! :D
these are so adorable! thanks for sharing : )
these illustrations are beautiful, right from dreams... they have this wonderful Mary Cassatt feel to them that reminds me of my mother...
those pictures are so adorable ^^.
i wish i could draw something like this!
<3
These are so beautiful. I love the last one. I'd love to have the larger version of that photo.
OMG the last one reminds me of my best friend Jamie and me so much! we used to take cones and decorate our friends apartments and houses with them while they were gone, only to come home and find a mass of orange.
oh and thanks for post the blog for ruche! I went on thier site and got a dress that I had been looking for. It's awesome.
seeing these makes me want to see more of yourrrrr sketches!
These are great. I love the tree branch.
If I could have one talent, it'd be the ability to draw. I love these - the first one is so whimsical.
(My second wish-for talent would be a great singing voice) :)
I love the tree branch picture! It reminds me of Tinkerbell :]
Oh, I'm on love :)
wow, these are great. I love the one with the bear!
These are so adorable! They remind me of being a child, for some reason. Lovely!
I love how imaginative these are. My favourite is the one with the typewriter and paper cranes.
Like child hood daydreams......
The second picture is absolutely inspiring. So interesting and different.. thanks for sharing these with us!
These are so very sweet! I love the second one!
these would be great in a children's picture book!
these are WONDERFUL. these may just be my favourite of all the illustrations you've ever posted. rachel bone is a genius!
super adorable!!
These are amazing. I'm reminded of Codex Seraphinianus in a way--the almost encyclopedic/school textbook approach to dreamy & surreal ideas.
Thanks for sharing!
wow, seeing this post gives me more things to draw and scribble about...wouldn't it be amazing if we could really tie birds to our bikes? and sometimes, i can't help imagining small people on trees...:D
Wow, super interesting! I love hearing about new artists!
Wonderful! The colors remind me of vintage childrens' book illustrations. Thanks for sharing.
I love the cone one! it reminds me of the day I was working at the front desk at my dorm and this guy walked in carrying a huge traffic cone, words cannot explain the strange things ive seen

i really like the pictures...they are really interesting to look at
I love these. Definitely whimsical with that touch of reality. I love the second to last picture.
Thanks for the comment my dear. :)
These illustrations are otherworldly, in the best sense. Love it.
And of course, your stylings are impeccable.
very cute images! and i love your shoes in the post below! :) i hope you had a great new years~!!!!
these illustrations are so adorable
My my my. They're so quirky and cute but really profound in a way I can't really explain. My favorite is probably the one with little people in a tree. I also really like the typewriter one with the paper cranes coming to life. Simply magical. Thank you, thank you!

absolutely perfect! :)
so magical, each and every one. The typewriters especially (though that could just be my infatuation with typewriters)

I especially love the second picture. Oh, how I want a dress or shirt with one of those prints!
These are so interesting, I love the one with the intertwined hair.
Love lovely art!!! I really love the first one with those planes flying as balloons:)
I've very taken with the way she makes use of an earthy palette to further add to her surreal and non sequitur drawings.
I love them all: it seems so easy when someone else does it, putting your fantasy in words ;)
Lovely pictures!
These are really cool!
These remind me a lot of Jennifer Davis' work..you should really check her out if you haven't already!
Beautiful artwork. They remind me of another artist, whose name I can't recall and it's driving me nuts that I can't remember! Anyways, similar style of fanciful illustrations -- dreamlike and lovely.
jauntie magpie, perhaps you're thinking of Henry Darger?
All beautiful. Reminds me very much of a Minneapolis-based artist named Amy Rice. You should check her out. Annie.
