A few weeks ago I was introduced to the work of Edinburgh artist Dodo Flugge of diedododa, and I immediately connected with her collection of Botanical Alphabet prints. I’ve long been an admirer of vintage botanical illustrations, so this particular collection from Dodo, which was inspired by her fascination with botany, was bound to resonate, but interestingly Dodo has combined her delicate botanical drawings with bold typography to create this striking range of prints.
Self-taught artist Dodo creates a unique and ever-changing selection of prints, cards and accessories using a variety of mediums, and her work is diverse, from detailed ink drawings such as the Ink Birds collection to Exotic Bird Paintings to the graphic juxtapositions of The Three Graces. I caught up with Dodo to ask about her work and specifically the inspiration behind the Botanical Alphabet prints.
