Russell Loughlan's emotional animals

I love Russell Loughlan's work. It makes me feel a bit tearful looking at it sometimes. 

He draws animals onto salvaged maps, pages from books or old postcards, and gives them feelings (quite complex ones). Simple. But very beautiful and strangely moving.

















If you're in London, Russell has his first solo exhibition on at the Beardsmore Gallery in NW5, opening tomorrow for ten days
