The Anna Johnstone Hand Illustrated Plates Are All One-of-a-Kind

— October 30, 2012 — Art & Design
Always original in design, the Anna Johnstone Hand Illustrated Plates are great for collectors and monster-lovers alike.

With cute imagery on them, featuring Johnstone’s not-so-scary Monsters as well as her Adventure Time drawings, these plates make for enjoyable place settings that are fun to look at. The characters instantly spark the imagination, getting you to think about all the mischief they might get up to. All her characters seem to be happy, including one of the monsters who lets birds sit on his horns. Each design is hand-drawn using black pen, and is signed by the artist on a recycled plate, making each one a completely unique piece of art.

Collect as many of the Anna Johnstone Hand Illustrated Plates as you can because they will never be duplicated.
