Indeed, judging by her playful portfolio there seems to be a lot of drawing, cutting, and pasting going around. There’s also a lot of color (mainly pink). According to Blythman, her process includes covering big sheets of watercolor paper in a variety of colors, with the added copper or gold leaf. Blythman then cuts the sheets up and rearranges them, employing paper collage techniques.

“I’m drawn to color because it just makes me so happy, it never fails to lift my mood,” she says. So much so, in fact, that her choice of color dictates her art piece rather than the other way around. “When I’m creating new work I decide on a color palette first,” she stressed. “Always. At present, I can’t get away from neon pink and peach.”

With almost 70k fans on Instagram and clients that include anything from start-up businesses to high profile international brands, her creative recipe seems to have worked. You’d want to follow her ins and outs.

“I love collecting ’70s interior design books for inspiration,” admitted Brown in an interview with Design Milk, stating her sources of inspiration. “The over-the-top colorful palettes, quirky motifs, and the overall carefree attitude of the ’70s excite me, and those are elements that I like to bring into my work.”

Color, as it turns out, is front and center in her designs, a fact that also comes across in her chosen moniker. “My name was actually given to me by a friend who was trying to figure out my middle name,” she relayed. “She jokingly guessed Purple since my first and last name already happen to be colors. I loved the way Jade Purple Brown sounded, so I decided to use it as my artist name. My name is a clear depiction of my work: colorful, strong, and unique.”

Based in New York, Brown collaborates with fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands, working as an illustrator and graphic designer, as well as an art director. Her bold, and oftentimes digital illustrations, are aimed at encouraging herself and others to be more optimistic and free. And with clients like Apple, Facebook, Sephora, and Google, her optimism is very much contagious.

According to Kingswell, her love of color goes all the way back to her childhood, when she sorted her colored pencils into pleasing sequences. “Color! I love it when it creates drama and impact, when it dances before your eyes, when it stirs the soul and fires the imagination,” she writes on her website.

Her love of textile came later, having earned a degree in communications design and after a fruitful career as a graphic designer. “I get pleasure from creating things,” says Kingswell, “things that are so much more than the sum of their parts – finding new patterns by exploring the beauty of color, number, sequence, and proportion through the medium of fabric.”

Her aim with her work? To lift spirits and make people smile. “And also intrigue them a little!” A good enough cause as any.

But much like his colorfully messy creations, his artwork is hard to categorize or pinpoint exactly. “My work is more related to surrealism and pop-art, which I discovered in school, than to street art or what is known as contemporary art,” he explained in an interview with Design Boom.

Sometimes described as Pop Surrealism meets Street Art, his work, incorporating colorful geometric patterns, portraying anything from animals and human figures to skulls and religious iconography. With his art raging in scale and size, his work also includes massive murals as well as whole buildings transformed into colorful installations. “I love to work on a large scale because it’s more breathtaking and I prefer to select this size of the project,” explained San Miguel.

Incredibly enough, these murals don’t rely on sketches. “I love to draw directly on the walls and keep creating and improvising during the process,” says San Miguel. “I need to see in person the whole architecture and try to play with that.”

“It was the flow of staggering colors pervading the street that built a complex depth and density, creating three-dimensional layers in the city of Tokyo,” she writes on her website. “I felt a lot of emotions seeing all these colors, and in that very moment, I decided to move to this city.”

Now based n Tokyo, she handles color as a medium to compose space rather than a finishing touch applied on surfaces. She named this concept “shikiri” – a made-up word that literally means “to divide space using colors.” Her wish? To evoke emotion through colors, with her creations ranging from art and design to architecture.

“I want to give emotion through colors,” she writes, “whether it is architecture or an art piece. Through my creation, I want people to see colors, touch colors, and feel colors with their senses. The overflowing effects of colors in space will show that colors can give more than a space, but a space with additional layers of human emotion.”

Her exploration of color also ranges in scale, from a small art piece to dramatic architecture. Follow her colorful journey in the gallery below.
