I’m quite smitten with this clever new work by the very gifted Lesley Barnes. Lesley is an illustrator and animator based in the UK. She created this delicious row of suitors for the open submission portion of The Renmen Project, an organized effort to raise funds for UNICEF’s Haiti appeal.
‘Renmen’ is the Haitian word for Love, the bird in the logo is the Hispaniolan Trogon, the national bird of Haiti. ‘The Renmen Project’ has been brought together by the team at Thunder Chunky and Ben The Illustrator in order to raise funds for UNICEF’s Haiti Appeal.
Throughout 2010 we will be working with a selection of top artists and designers from around the world to create artwork which we will be selling online. Every penny made from art sales will be going to Unicef’s appeal fund.
It’s always such a pleasure to keep up with Lesley’s ace work. See much more on her website + vimeo + flickr + shop. Also, check out my recent interview with her here on AQ-V.

Clever and poignant; definitely an interesting take on the theme. At an abstract level, the shapes and colors almost remind me of Kandinsky.
Beautiful artwork for a very good cause.
I am in love!
