Spanish illustrator Pepa Prieto is among the barrage of incredible folk art influenced illustration surfacing in 2009. This return to character driven line work and flat illustration is perhaps a reflection of public sentiment toward recent world economic hardship. Prieto is hard at work on both commercial and gallery showings with an exhibition at Barcelona’s Iguapop Gallery and recent projects for Pony, Element Skateboards, and MTV. Her work will remain on view at Iguapop until September 12th, if you happen to be in the area this is a must see.
