In art, mainly in photography and painting, there are several win-win options for getting the public to like you. Everyone loves pictures and photographs with animals and children, and if children and animals in pictures and photographs are depicted together, the author is guaranteed success. South African artist Jade Klara I learned this lesson well, so in her paintings there are pretty often cute children and various animals, but the mood pumped up a little. This artist's fairy tales about children and animals are too peculiar. It should be noted how distinctive characters are born in Jade Clara. Needless to say, a high-quality "mix" of different cultures has never given bad results. So, a little Japanese kawaii, a little South African atmosphere, spice it up with a European mood and mix on the plots of fairy tales heard and read in childhood - and you get a series of wonderful pictures about thoughtful children and their affectionate animal friends.
And it's okay that the kids in Jade Clara's paintings are so sad. It so happens that children in African countries have to grow up very early in order to help their families. In particular, children are engaged in pets, and, apparently, therefore, they are tight friends. True, Jade Clara's animals are mostly mythical, but still kind and docile. Children have nothing to fear from them, like plush toys or fluffy kittens.
Obviously, these pictures fell in love with the public, and so much so that the artist produces clothes with such prints, as well as toys and souvenirs based on her own drawings. All this can be seen on her personal website.

Arctic Fox on the Roof: South African Green Advertisement
“From now on, green is white,” read the posters. Are we really talking about the Makhnovist defectors? Unfortunately, the realities of the Civil War have nothing to do with it. It's just that green advertising suggests stopping global warming in a non-standard way - by painting the rails in green, roofs of houses with white paint. White roofs will "scare off" the sun's rays, the earth's surface will heat less, and northern fur-bearing animals will change their minds to die out
