Prepare Yourself for Summer with Angela Mckay’s Sunny Illustrations

Can you feel it in the air? Summer’s just around the corner, with all its sunny glory! And forget about preparing your body for beach wear (who has the time and energy to do that, really?) because we’ve got all the preparation you need right here!

Illustrator Angela Mckay, of Ohkii Studio, uses gouache and watercolor to create carefree scenes of summer joy. All pieces are drawn and painted by hand before being digitally printed.  And her use of vivid colors and bright patterns will get you in the mood for swimwear and cocktails, even if you’re more of a winter person.

Originally hailing from the bright shores of Australia and the humid tropics of Thailand, Mckay brought all of her sunny goodness to Ohkii Studio, based in Brooklyn, New York.

Her website states that she draws her inspiration from many places including the natural world, overseas travel adventures, folk tales, and old murder mystery novels.

Above all, she enjoys creating things that can make you smile. Have a look at her art below!
