Combining illustration and embroidery, artist Jack Buckley draws and stitches portraits of birds and flowers surrounded by lush nature. My favorite pieces feature colorful embroidery that seems to burst from the black pen drawing—as if it’s coming to life before our very eyes.
Based in Australia, Jack looks to the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney as inspiration for the flora that appears in the work. The detailed sketches, complete with tiny lines on petals and fungi, are at home with equally as meticulous stitches; each inky hatch mark equals many more pass-throughs of thread.
Be sure to follow Jack on Instagram to see what the artist is up to next.
