Hello all ❤️

I hope you find inspiration here!

This week on Artists Pages, I featured Nina Karmish, who draws cats under a camera flash. And Ayao, the artist scouring beaches for her plastic sculptures.

It’s hard to believe we are approaching the 100th edition of Art I Saved This Week. The Artists Pages Instagram is moving towards 1M as well. I’ll have to pull something special out of the bag to celebrate!

Thank you for being here.

Art Prompt

Create using nature. Inspired by the pieces from Katerina Shukshina, this week use only the raw materials in nature to create an artwork.

See you next Sunday 👋

Hello all ❤️

This week on Artists Pages, I featured Hou Guan Ting who creates ink-drenched sculptures.

We also took a trip to Paris with artist Morvern Graham, to visit the museum dedicated to 19th century fairground art: the Musée des Arts Forains.

Discover art anywhere with Omio.

In Episode 3 of Art Mapped, multidisciplinary artist Morvern Graham took a trip with Omio from Scotland to Paris to discover the mysteries of fairground art.

Using the app, Morvern travelled to Musée des Arts Forains to explore the stories, history, and craftsmanship behind 19th century fairground art. Inside the museum, exhibitions highlight the heritage of the art form and the craftsmen behind the work.

Hello all ❤️

I hope I am reaching you creatively inspired.

Here are my magical art finds from the week.

Introducing Art Mapped, the new series where we visit art destinations around the world with Omio: the travel booking app making journeys simple.

For our first episode, I travelled across the UK to find artworks by Invader, the mysterious French street artist best known for his 4,000+ pixelated mosaics scattered across 80 cities worldwide 👾

I started my journey by taking a train to London, touring two hotspots for Invaders: Soho and Shoreditch. I wanted to find more, so I travelled to Manchester. Omio made the entire journey simple. I easily compared routes and prices, booked my tickets, and kept my journey details safe in the app.

In Omio, you can book trains, buses, flights, and ferries, with all your tickets stored safely in one place. For our community, Omio is offering an exclusive discount for new customers: 12% off your first journey using the code ARTMAPPED12.

I enjoyed this trip so much, finding over 50 artworks and exploring places I had never been before! I encourage you to follow your passion and travel for the discovery of art. I’m delighted to make this a little more accessible with this discount just for you.

Hello all ❤️

Just a reminder: the submission deadline for Secret 7" from War Child is fast approaching!

Secret 7” takes seven tracks from some of the world’s best-known musicians: this year, that’s John Lennon, The Last Dinner Party, Gabrielle, The Maccabees, Skin, Glass Animals, and Bastille.

Each track is pressed 100 times onto vinyl, creating 700 limited-edition 7” records. Each sleeve will feature a unique artwork submitted by 700 of you.

Once printed, all 700 sleeves are exhibited at a free exhibition and available to acquire through an online auction, raising funds that will change the lives of children affected by conflict. The artists’ identities and the track inside? A mystery until the record is in the hands of the buyer.

Submit your artwork by 1st June 2026.

Art Prompt

Inspired by Alex Headlam’s sculpture of gum: Create a work that enlarges or intensifies something once small, quiet, or ordinary—turning it into something impossible to ignore.

Hello all ❤️

This week, I had the wonderful opportunity of announcing the winner of the 2026 LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize on Artists Pages.

In my mission to make art more accessible to all, I was thrilled to bridge the gap between the fine art world and our community of art lovers everywhere.

Watch now on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.

Art Prompt

Like Evgenia Voinar, extract a symbol or visual from a 2D piece of work and bring it to life in the 3D plane; create a piece of art that can hide in plain sight, to surprise, intrigue, and sit alongside viewers in the room, off the wall.

See you next Sunday 👋

Hello all,

I’m happy to find you here again!

This week on Artists Pages, I featured Matt McCreary, who brings random public spaces to life with movement. And Chantal Bourque, who paints portraits of trees. Catch up on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.

For our newsletter, I have curated a wide selection: pencil drawings so sharp I had to investigate their realness, multi-media pieces exploring love and connection, and paintings to get lost in.

Let me know what pieces struck you in the comments. If you have had creative discoveries of your own this week, share an anecdote or two ❤️

Art Prompt

Inspired by Inès Longevial: create a piece that is made across multiple pieces of your chosen medium, whether that’s canvas, paper, wood or something else. Challenge yourself to create a piece of work that feels whole, only using parts.

See you next Sunday 👋

Thank you so much.

Inspired by the cyanotype collage by Ramona Zordini: create a piece of work, then rip it up, re-create it, layer it; create a collage that tells more than one story in your style.

Hello all ❤️

I hope I’m finding you creatively fueled.

It’s official, we’re back on Substack!

I hope you notice very little change. However, it’s now easier for you to chat to me in the comments, which I have missed, and I would love to hear from you.

This week on Artists Pages, I featured the work of artist and silversmith Nicole, creating minuscule creatures in silver. And Heather Clements, who creates interactive pop-up paintings on paper.

Hello all ❤️

I hope you have had a creative week.

This week on Artists Pages, I featured the work of Hilel, whose ceramic coffee drippers each create a new world in clay. Maraden, who is known for his blood red and jet black tattoos. And, Michael Jones, who creates art from wood with a chainsaw.

Catch up on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.

Just a heads up, I'm changing the software I use to send this newsletter, from Ghost to Substack. If you've been here a while, you'll remember I started on Substack 82 weeks ago! You don't need to do anything; I just wanted to mention this, as you might notice a subtle visual difference in the display.

Art Prompt

Sous les pétales, Magnolia, and Spring at last, all show flowers as symbols in a unique light, evoking an array of emotions. This week, get inspired by flowers. How does seeing the contrast used in these pieces affect the way you use and portray emotions through flowers?

See you next Sunday 👋

Thank you so much!

Hello all ❤️

I hope you have had a creative week.

Before I share my finds, I wanted to draw attention to an important initiative we are supporting: Secret 7" from War Child.

Secret 7” takes seven tracks from some of the world’s best-known musicians, which this year comprise John Lennon, The Last Dinner Party, Gabrielle, The Maccabees, Skin, Glass Animals, and Bastille.

Each track is pressed 100 times onto vinyl, creating 700 limited-edition 7” records. Each sleeve features a unique artwork submitted by you.

Your artwork is your interpretation of the song. Feel free to experiment with mediums and unconventional notions of what a record sleeve can be.

Once printed, all 700 sleeves are exhibited at a free exhibition and available to acquire through an online auction, raising funds that will change the lives of children affected by conflict. The artists’ identities and the track inside? A mystery until the record is in the hands of the buyer.

Full information on how to submit your design for this year’s edition is here.

Submit your artwork by 1st June 2026.

Art Prompt

Inspired by Apolo, create an artwork using only black and white. If this is something you already do regularly, then pick two other opposing colours to work with. How does limiting your colour palette affect the feel and creation of your work?

Hello all ❤️

It's been a quiet week on Artists Pages, as I've taken a brief pause to focus on a few projects and search for incredible artists.

If you missed it, I shared a new video on YouTube, Art Toys: Japanese Culture, Overconsumption, and Defining Artists.

Art Prompt

For many, sketchbooks are a space for experimentation, where ideas remain unfinished and rarely seen as final works. But this week, shift that perspective. However you plan, curate, or create within your sketchbook, let what would usually be considered incomplete become your finished piece. What changes when you begin to see the beauty in your unfinished ideas?

See you next Sunday 👋

Thank you so much!

Hello all ❤️

I sincerely thank all of you who shared endorsements for the book I am writing. I know your support will make all the difference in helping publishers understand why a book celebrating living artists is so needed. I will keep you all up to date on any book-related updates. If you would like to contribute an endorsement, it takes 5 minutes or less, and you can do so here.

I just shared a new YouTube video!

It asks: why are we so obsessed with art toys? I dive into the world of designer toys and collectables, exploring their history, culture, and the communities around them.

From early Japanese folk toys to ’90s pioneers, the Lowbrow art movement, consumerism and the Lipstick Effect, through to contemporary artists today.

Every designer toy craze gets unpacked, from KAWS to Superplastic, to Smiskis, Sonny Angel, and the infamous Labubu.

WATCH ON YOUTUBE

This week's curation celebrates some of the incredible emerging artists I discovered who are creating art toys today, often by hand.

Art Prompt

This week's newsletter is focusing on art toys. To embrace this, our prompt to you is to design and or create your own art toy. As you can see from the examples, there are endless mediums and outcomes that let the artists authenticity shine through. Give your character a name, a back story and an aesthetic. What does your art toy look like?

See you next Sunday 👋

Thank you so much!

Imi, Founder of Artists Pages.

Hello all ❤️

I have a favour to ask…

I’m developing a book, and I need your help!

It will bring together the stories of living artists, much like the videos and newsletters I share, but in a lasting, printed form.

In an age of artificial creativity, it aims to spotlight real artists and inspire a new generation of creators and collectors.

I’m gathering short endorsements (just a sentence or two) to show publishers why a book like this matters. If you’ve enjoyed this newsletter or my videos, I’d be so grateful if you’d consider contributing one 🤞

I have created a short form you can complete to submit your endorsement. I am so excited to make this happen with you!

ENDORSE THE ARTISTS PAGES BOOK

Art Prompt

Inspired by Jono Brown’s School Nights painting, create something inspired by a memory from your past. This can be from your childhood or something that brings a strong sense of nostalgia, a smell, a meal, a job or a friend. Create an artwork that reflects your sense of nostalgia. How can you best inject it into a creative project?

See you next Sunday 👋

Thank you so much!

Imi, Founder of Artists Pages.

Hello all ❤️

I hope creativity has felt bountiful for you this week, as we meet again to seek inspiration from living artists.

On Artists Pages this week, I featured Karen Cheok, whose paintings become sculptures on canvas, and Ruta Karecke, who uses a ceramic slip trailer to explore pointillism.

If you're looking for some inspiration this weekend, I particularly enjoyed the latest episode of Fashion Neurosis featuring designers Hannah Rose Dalton and Steven Raj. It was wonderful to hear them speak on self-expression and their lives together as artists. Their energy has stayed with me.

I have another long video coming to YouTube next week, on the topic of Art Toys, and why we are so obsessed with them.

Art Prompt

In Coby Zutt’s Starboy digital painting, the character has an exaggerated silhouette. This week, maximalism is our theme. Whatever the project, take it to the extreme. More metallic, more colour, more anything. What feels better when taken to the extreme?

See you next Sunday 👋

Thank you so much!

Hello all ❤️

It's been an exciting week.

1.5 years after starting Artists Pages, I got to curate an art fair in London! This week, The Other Art Fair opened at London's Truman Brewery, featuring the work of over 175 independent artists (some selected by me).

Big thanks to everyone who visited, and thank you to all of you who watch/read Artists Pages. It was so gratifying to be in the room with these incredible artists. I hope this is the first of many chances to curate in spaces like this and bring the Artists Pages community together in person.

On Artists Pages this week, I featured Tamsin Levene, who sculpts ceramic pots that crackle. And Amanda Meyer, who created fabric with autumn leaves.

Catch up on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.

Art Prompt

Inspired by Shishi's textile vase, make the textures within your project abstract and different to how that form is usually perceived. Whether it's with food, fashion, or even the medium, what could create more depth and shine something in a different light?

See you next Sunday 👋

Thank you so much!

Imi, Founder of Artists Pages.

Hello all ❤️

I have reduced tickets to share with you for The Other Art Fair in London, running from 5-8 March! Taking place at the iconic Truman Brewery, there will be over 175 independent artists exhibiting.

I'm proud to be on the selection committee for this edition, so if you would like to come along to see all the art on display, as well as enjoying the bar, art-themed ping pong, and many other fun surprises, please do.

If you go, please snap a story and tag Artists Pages. I'd love to see! 🫶

On Artists Pages this week, I featured Kazuya Ishikawa who has built the maze he walks in lucid dreams. And, MSCHF, the art collective that just released a crescendo of 20,000 paper planes in a gallery in New York to mark the Lunar New Year.

Catch up on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.

Art Prompt

This week we were inspired by Izzy Sayers incredible crocheted Praying Mantis head. Whether it’s in writing, painting or a physical form, create a piece that combines the human form with a completely different structure. This could be interpreted as a physical metamorphosis like Mantis Girl, something spiritual or something completely mythical. What structures, compositions and changes work well with the human form and what amalgamations can you create?

See you next Sunday 👋

Thank you so much!

Hello all ❤️

Big appreciation to the 3000+ of you who have watched my latest video essay, Is Land Art Beautiful, or Is It Problematic?

I'm already working on the next one, diving deep into the world of art toys.

This week on Artists Pages, I featured the work of Filip Custic, who creates living installations. Piers Phillips, who composes paintings with individual marks. Tom Beton, whose concrete sculptures echo brutalist architecture and mid-century modernism.

Catch up on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.

Art Prompt

Inspired by Vittorio Valiante’s portrait, this week, get up close and personal with whatever your subject is. Rather than painting, drawing, animating, or writing about the whole subject, zoom into a small section and focus on that. How does this translate differently?

See you next Sunday 👋

Thank you so much!

Imi, Founder of Artists Pages.

Hello all ❤️

In case you missed it, my new video on YouTube Is Land Art Beautiful, or Is It Problematic? is out now. Thanks to everyone who has watched, liked, and commented, it makes such a difference!

This week on Artists Pages, I featured the work of Giulio Massimo Gallana, who created a field of snow flowers. Dan Ortiz Leizman, who turned plastic chairs into instruments. And, Casey Curran, who creates kinetic clothes that move with you.

Catch up on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.

Here are this weeks inspirations. It seems the world of sculpture was calling to me, and I found some beautiful films too.

Art Prompt

Inspired by Stephanie’s oven sculpture, use a household object as your subject. From creating a still life, animation or even a poem, find something in your home and use it to create your next piece of work.

See you next Sunday 👋

Thank you so much!
