Guys, guys, I need your help!
Niroot Puttapipat is from Thailand, and has been working as an illustrator in England for several years. He's the modern incarnation of Arthur Rackham, and has been a huge influence to my own work for the last few years.
The few times I've spoken to him he's been incredibly courteous and helpful to me with my own work. Unfortunately, Niroot is in dire straits right now! He, like many of my fellow artists, is struggling to get by. It's gotten to the point that he has next to nothing to live on, and it breaks my heart. I remember being in that position myself, and people pretty much slithered out of the woodwork to help me out. It was awesome, and if you can help him out now, I'd be so grateful!
You can help him by buying his books, prints, mugs, magnets, and assorted ephemera here on DA, or from the Folio Society, or from Red Bubble.
He's also illustrated "The Red Fairy Book" which is gorgeous, but out of stock. You can still order it for October here: [link]
Thanks so much! Any support is appreciated, even if it's small <3
unbelievable that even such amazing artist have problems with money.
Hope he gets by soon, his work really needs to be more known, he's really underrated.
But I thought considering his (and of course yours.) wonderful artwork and popularity thought you earned enough money to live 100% on your work.
I really admire his work and I'm very sorry to hear he is in such trouble.
I'll be happy to order a mug with The Magic Flute.
