]]> From a young age, a freelance illustrator named Kerri Brown was always surrounded by art: she was training as a classical ballerina. But years later, she discovered that she likes illustration even more.

While visiting Bali, Brown found herself inspired by the local tattoo artists and illustrators. They were all working digitally, which turned out to be the triggering point for her to become a digital artist.

“I never thought I was that patient when it came to creating art, so I loved any medium that allowed me to bring my vision to life quickly. This is why digital art has changed my life! I love using the Procreate App. It has really allowed me to experiment and bring my ideas to life without wasting any medium,” she said in an interview for Ballpit. She also added that before discovering the digital world, she would work with watercolors and posca pens.

Although she is still working on her color palettes, one thing is for sure: fashion illustration will always be her number one influence.

“I love drawing people and characters that represent a certain mood that is usually bold and sassy. I would say my alter ego shines through most of the characters I draw,” she explained. “My overall style consists of a quirky concoction of current trends mixed with playful color palettes resulting in bold stylized characters.”

]]> Sharks are usually painted as the “bad guys” of the ocean in movies, documentaries, and the news. As a result, people have a big fear of sharks, viewing them as ruthless sea creatures that want to do them harm. But the truth is quite different.

Sharks are actually a lot less dangerous than you might think. Only 30 shark species out of close to 400 that we know about have been recorded to attack humans. The University of Florida released data that shows there have been only 57 confirmed unprovoked cases of shark attacks on humans in 2022 and five unprovoked shark-related fatalities. The Centers for Disease Control, on the other hand, report that 22 people die from cow attacks each year.

In an attempt to change the narrative about sharks and make people look at them in a more positive light, digital artist Requinoesis started a series of illustrations that feature sharks as their main characters. In these cute and colorful artworks, sharks are shown hanging out in their small cities, exploring the ocean depths, and taking well-deserved naps.

“With my artwork, I try to purify the “Jaws feeling” that haunts the image of sharks, showing that there are many more creative and imaginative possibilities in these creatures than just their jaws!” the artist shares.

]]> Matt Bonito is a digital artist who shares a special bond with his father Dom. The two often hang out together and enjoy various activities such as creating amusing content for social media that sees Matt photoshopping Dom into famous paintings. 

Matt recently decided to share a series of amusing Photoshop interventions that have his father as the main star of iconic artworks like Cassius Marcellus Coolidge’s “Dogs Playing Poker,” Edvard Munch’s “Scream,” and Jacques-Louis David’s “The Death of Marat.” While this is already entertaining, Dom manages to make each work even funnier thanks to his mannerisms and clothes. He always wears the same sweater and cap while adjusting his body talk to the theme of the painting.

Matt’s Photoshop interventions starring his dad are nothing new. He has been doing them for the past several years, choosing different sources of inspiration like pop culture, movies, and TV shows. For him, it’s less about the final product and more about quality time spent with his dad.

“We can spend hours sat laughing around the dinner table while we come up with ideas, and it’s never a bad thing to have an excuse to hang out with him,” Bonito revealed in a recent interview. “I also just love the creativity of it all.”

]]> Eiko Ojala is a talented artist whose artworks look like they were handcrafted. He uses digital technology to make his images. However, the creations look like paper cuts made with colorful paper and scissors.

Ojala is a well-known illustrator, graphic designer, and art director from Estonia whose works were published in media all around the world. Like, for example, his digitally done paper cuts inspired by the pandemic were featured on the cover of TIME magazine. But he was also featured in many other publications, websites, blogs, and newspapers.

He begins his project with an idea transmitted onto a blank sheet. When the sketch is done he transfers his hand-made work to the digital world.

“Within my work process, I like to study the forms of shapes and to work closely with light and shadow. I like to keep my illustrations minimal and well-advised. I combine consummate craftsmanship with a healthy sprinkling of wit,” Ojala told The Huffington Post.

Every “paper cut” is done with so much precision. The artist seeks inspiration from events that affect us all. From the pandemic and global warming crisis to problems that humans are dealing with daily.

If you are curious to see his creations, check out the gallery below. Don’t forget to tell us your opinion in the comments below.

]]> 3D artist and designer David Milan is all about having a good time. His work — bright, glossy, and playful — is a creative experiment with typography unfolding in front of our very eyes. “I love working and experimenting with colors, textures, shapes, and forms,” he writes on his website. “I’m always looking for new projects.”

Indeed, judging by his portfolio the projects keep on coming, with selected clients including giants like Apple, Huawei, Facebook, Pepsi, and Adobe. His experimentation with type and fonts has also created quite a stir online, amassing more than 135k followers on Instagram alone.

His work, almost entirely digital is made using tablets like Wacom and iPad Pro with some rendering on Photoshop. But Milan admits he still loves the more traditional form of lettering, employing tools like Crayola markers and Tombow brush pens.

“The hardest part of my job is finding a good quote or a word,” he admitted in an interview with Wix. “I could spend hours looking for a good one.” Show him some love by following him on Instagram:

]]> Art director and designer, Santi Zoraidez, is known for his glossy digital illustrations and short animations, featuring surreal landscapes in bright, shimmering colors. “I like to see how shapes and objects interact with each other,” said Zoraidez in an interview with Grafik, “and how I can use the way that they look to communicate an idea. Whether in motion or as still image, this is the way I approach a project.”

It’s his unique ability to merge 3D illustrations with groundbreaking digital effects that puts Zoraidez at the very forefront of design, attracting clients like Apple, Nike, and Ikea amongst others.

“I really try to develop my ideas for each piece of work outside of the screen, and then after some time I build up something to try out in digital,” he relays, explaining what goes into place behind the scenes. “That is when my visual development process really starts.”

Passionate about furniture, interior design, art installations, architecture and, of course, graphic design, his pieces are informed by many sources of inspiration. “There is something interesting to me about the compositions I can create and the way that shapes interact with each other,” he says, “together with a sense of space or volume, and referring mostly to real materials.”

]]> Cyprus-based illustrator, Anna Kövecses has amassed quite a following. With commissions from media outlets as big as the BBC, The New York Times, and De Zeit, as well as more than 50k followers on Instagram, people are clearly taking notice of Kövecses’ work.

Known for her digital collages, her work is made of geometric shapes arranged in colorful patterns. But according to Kövecses, what now has become her signature style, took some time and experimentation to develop.

“It took me quite a while to learn how to distinguish myself as an artist and my other self as an illustrator,” she told Papirmass. “Accepting the fact that as an illustrator I usually have to follow instructions I still find it hard to cope with tweaking my artwork many times before coming up with a final illustration.”

“I often scribble some vague sketches into my phone or notebooks that lay around the house and then get back to them later to turn them into final artworks,” she explained the creative process that takes place behind the scenes. “When working I often surround myself with books and albums on art, plants, children’s novels, landscapes or food that I spread out on the floor like a live mood board,” she adds.

Based in a small seaside village on the island of Cyprus, her lifestyle fits nicely with her chosen subjects and themes (or vice versa). Committed to the art slow living, Kövecses’ inspiration comes from life on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and being a mother of three small kids. “I spend the morning drawing or working on illustration projects and drinking way too much tea,” she says.

Enter her wonderfully colorful worlds.

Let’s celebrate the hand-made gift. Making is the best thing in the world, it’s a wonderful meditation process and hand-made gifts carry that extra magic that no store bought present can replace, not to talk about the positive environmental impact. It doesn’t have to be a Pinterest-perfect project. Wrapping up a batch of home baked cookies is a nice start. I’m planning to share my homemade gifts with you in a new project in the coming weeks 😉 Of course making requires time and energy so a 100% handmade Christmas still remains a dream for me. If you’re in the same shoes you can still try making conscious buying choices. Here are some of my favorite small brands: @babaaknitwear @mamzigrannychic @studioescargot @ostheimerwoodentoys @fannyandalexander @pyneandsmithclothiers and of course vintage books and toys are an absolute winner! Let’s not flood our beautiful planet with plastic trash. Let’s dump Black Friday! (Illustration I made last year for Herman Miller)

]]> Ever wondered what your favorite cartoon characters would look like as real humans? Tati, a self-taught digital artist, reimagines some of our favorite childhood heroes as normal teens, with her incredible skills and imagination.

Tati has loved art ever since she was little, but only started drawing herself in 2016. Although she learned to draw all by herself and has only been drawing for a couple of years, her talent is obvious, and she’s managed to develop her own unique style pretty quickly.

There are so many artists out there that try to reimagine animated characters, and especially Disney characters, as something else, but Tati’s approach is unique. Her style is very different from the signature Disney style, and she doesn’t simply draw her favorite character more realistically–she gives them a new, modern character, that would put them right at home at any modern-day American high school.

In Tati’s version, Snow White isn’t just a goody-two-shoes with a nice singing voice, she’s a rebel, wearing a t-shirt that reads “not your housemaid,” Lilo from Lilo and Stitch rocks a crop-top with the word Sisterhood scribbled on it, and Marceline from Adventure Time is a badass guitar player. We always loved these characters, but Tati’s art helps us fall in love with them all over again.

Hi guys! Sophisticated Helena Bonham Carter as Yzma ♥☻💜 It's character from old @Disney movie – The Emperor's New groove. if you have not seen this movie I highly recommend it. ⠀ In the story, this beauty, really wants to sit on the imperial throne, but there is one small problem. The young emperor who is already sitting on it. But whom it will stop, especially if you're a Disney villain☻ ⠀ Would you like to be the ruler of a small (or not so) country? 👑 Of course, if you didn’t have to overthrow anyone 😅👌 I wouldn't want. Too much responsibility for me 😰🙈😄 ———————————————————- Привет друзья! Добавлю немного коварства в ваши ленты с помощью неподражаемой Хелены Бонем Картер в образе Измы. Это персонаж из уже довольно олдскульного мультика Диснея "Похождения императора" если вы его не смотрели, то вот прям рекомендую. Очень забавный мульт и персонажи 🔥🔥🔥😄👌 ⠀ По сюжету эта красавица, ну ооочень хочет сесть на императорский трон, но у неё есть одна маленькая проблемка. Молодой император, который уже на этом самом троне сидит. Но кого ж такое остановливало, тем более если ты диснеевский злодей☻ ⠀ А вы хотели бы быть правителем маленькой (или не очень) страны? 👑 При условии что никого не надо свергать с престола 😅👌 Я вот думаю, что нет. Ответственности слишком много 😰🙈😄

Have you ever looked at a movie star and thought to yourself “he’d be perfect in a live-action version of this Disney movie?” You’re not the only one, and Helen Morgun goes even beyond just thinking it and she applies her considerable sketching skills to turn her favorite celebrities into iconic Disney characters. Among her works you’ll find Margot Robbie as Elsa from Frozen, Megan Fox as the disguised Sea Witch from The Little Mermaid, Taylor Swift as Tinker Bell, to name a few.

Helen’s process is pretty complex. She starts by looking for an interesting character in the considerable repertoire of the studio. Then, she has to find the perfect celebrity to personify that character. They can be physically similar, or they can have similar personalities for the magic to work. Once she has the perfect reference, she starts planning her drawings.

Then she starts sketching. Like many modern artists, her favorite medium is digital art, and she works mostly on Photoshop. She combines the pose and facial features of the celebrities with the clothing, background, accessories, and companions of the relevant Disney character to create the perfect mashup of real-life and fantasy. 

The end result is a stunning and unique portrait that’ll give you a fresh perspective on Disney. Now all we have to do is wait for the studio to cast these actors as the leads in their live-action movies!

Hi guys! I am back. With #drawthisinyourstyle by amazing @lera_kiryakova Do you like circus and clowns? And did you recognize the girl? ⠀ Привет друзья. Я наконец-то в художественном строю. Очень хотела нарисовать эту девочку и поучаствовать в #нарисуйвсвоемстиле от Леры. #lerakiryakova_dtiys Манили меня эти рыжие кудряшки 😅 Ну и как можно пропустить такого замечательного персонажа. ⠀ Как обычно в таких случаях, я рисую кого-то из любимых актрис. Правда в этот раз ушла немного от реализма в стилизацию. Узнали эту рыжую девушку в гримме? И как у вас отношения с цирком и клоунами? Любите или боитесь 😜

Hi guys! It's one of my commission art, that I recently draw. I am still a little bit sick. But I try to fix that😅 ⠀ Are there any Harry Potter fans amoung you? ———————————————————–⠀ Привет друзья, Это один из недавних моих заказов с персонажами игры о Гарри Поттере. Я пока всё ещё в состоянии-нестояния. И ну и соответственно нерисования 😅😅😅 ⠀ Зато позволяю себе роскошь выспаться и посмотреть сериалы олдскульным способом, то есть – двумя глазами, а не как это обычно у нас у творческих людей происходит. В пол глаза и в пол уха, пока рисуешь 😜 ⠀ Смотрю сейчас чудесный сериал "Энн" про девочку сироту. Сериал изумительный. От души рекомендую. По духу напоминает Аббатство Даунтон или Сендинктон. Красота во всем от актеров до мельчайших деталей сюжета 💕 ⠀ Надеюсь скоро вернусь в творческий строй 😘

Пару постов назад я спрашивала о том, какой ваш любимый персонаж Диснея. Бесспорным лидером стала Ариель. Но очень многие писали о этой фее. ⠀ Она мне тоже очень нравилась своим упорством в мультике. ✊😊 ⠀ У вас кстати как дела обстоят с этим качеством? Прёте как танк и стоите на своём или вы из тех кому "воспитание не позволяет"? ⠀ Я кстати очень долгое время, была из второй категории. Сейчас пытаюсь побороть свои привычки, но до танка мне пока ещё далеко 😅

“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.

]]> Eiko Ojala is a talented artist whose artworks look like they were handcrafted. He uses digital technology to make his images. However, the creations look like paper cuts made with colorful paper and scissors.

Ojala is a well-known illustrator, graphic designer, and art director from Estonia whose works were published in media all around the world. Like, for example, his digitally done paper cuts inspired by the pandemic were featured on the cover of TIME magazine. But he was also featured in many other publications, websites, blogs, and newspapers.

He begins his project with an idea transmitted onto a blank sheet. When the sketch is done he transfers his hand-made work to the digital world.

“Within my work process, I like to study the forms of shapes and to work closely with light and shadow. I like to keep my illustrations minimal and well-advised. I combine consummate craftsmanship with a healthy sprinkling of wit,” Ojala told The Huffington Post.

Every “paper cut” is done with so much precision. The artist seeks inspiration from events that affect us all. From the pandemic and global warming crisis to problems that humans are dealing with daily.

If you are curious to see his creations, check out the gallery below. Don’t forget to tell us your opinion in the comments below.

]]> 3D artist and designer David Milan is all about having a good time. His work — bright, glossy, and playful — is a creative experiment with typography unfolding in front of our very eyes. “I love working and experimenting with colors, textures, shapes, and forms,” he writes on his website. “I’m always looking for new projects.”

Indeed, judging by his portfolio the projects keep on coming, with selected clients including giants like Apple, Huawei, Facebook, Pepsi, and Adobe. His experimentation with type and fonts has also created quite a stir online, amassing more than 135k followers on Instagram alone.

His work, almost entirely digital is made using tablets like Wacom and iPad Pro with some rendering on Photoshop. But Milan admits he still loves the more traditional form of lettering, employing tools like Crayola markers and Tombow brush pens.

“The hardest part of my job is finding a good quote or a word,” he admitted in an interview with Wix. “I could spend hours looking for a good one.” Show him some love by following him on Instagram:

]]> Art director and designer, Santi Zoraidez, is known for his glossy digital illustrations and short animations, featuring surreal landscapes in bright, shimmering colors. “I like to see how shapes and objects interact with each other,” said Zoraidez in an interview with Grafik, “and how I can use the way that they look to communicate an idea. Whether in motion or as still image, this is the way I approach a project.”

It’s his unique ability to merge 3D illustrations with groundbreaking digital effects that puts Zoraidez at the very forefront of design, attracting clients like Apple, Nike, and Ikea amongst others.

“I really try to develop my ideas for each piece of work outside of the screen, and then after some time I build up something to try out in digital,” he relays, explaining what goes into place behind the scenes. “That is when my visual development process really starts.”

Passionate about furniture, interior design, art installations, architecture and, of course, graphic design, his pieces are informed by many sources of inspiration. “There is something interesting to me about the compositions I can create and the way that shapes interact with each other,” he says, “together with a sense of space or volume, and referring mostly to real materials.”

]]> Cyprus-based illustrator, Anna Kövecses has amassed quite a following. With commissions from media outlets as big as the BBC, The New York Times, and De Zeit, as well as more than 50k followers on Instagram, people are clearly taking notice of Kövecses’ work.

Known for her digital collages, her work is made of geometric shapes arranged in colorful patterns. But according to Kövecses, what now has become her signature style, took some time and experimentation to develop.

“It took me quite a while to learn how to distinguish myself as an artist and my other self as an illustrator,” she told Papirmass. “Accepting the fact that as an illustrator I usually have to follow instructions I still find it hard to cope with tweaking my artwork many times before coming up with a final illustration.”

“I often scribble some vague sketches into my phone or notebooks that lay around the house and then get back to them later to turn them into final artworks,” she explained the creative process that takes place behind the scenes. “When working I often surround myself with books and albums on art, plants, children’s novels, landscapes or food that I spread out on the floor like a live mood board,” she adds.

Based in a small seaside village on the island of Cyprus, her lifestyle fits nicely with her chosen subjects and themes (or vice versa). Committed to the art slow living, Kövecses’ inspiration comes from life on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and being a mother of three small kids. “I spend the morning drawing or working on illustration projects and drinking way too much tea,” she says.

Enter her wonderfully colorful worlds.

Let’s celebrate the hand-made gift. Making is the best thing in the world, it’s a wonderful meditation process and hand-made gifts carry that extra magic that no store bought present can replace, not to talk about the positive environmental impact. It doesn’t have to be a Pinterest-perfect project. Wrapping up a batch of home baked cookies is a nice start. I’m planning to share my homemade gifts with you in a new project in the coming weeks 😉 Of course making requires time and energy so a 100% handmade Christmas still remains a dream for me. If you’re in the same shoes you can still try making conscious buying choices. Here are some of my favorite small brands: @babaaknitwear @mamzigrannychic @studioescargot @ostheimerwoodentoys @fannyandalexander @pyneandsmithclothiers and of course vintage books and toys are an absolute winner! Let’s not flood our beautiful planet with plastic trash. Let’s dump Black Friday! (Illustration I made last year for Herman Miller)

]]> Ever wondered what your favorite cartoon characters would look like as real humans? Tati, a self-taught digital artist, reimagines some of our favorite childhood heroes as normal teens, with her incredible skills and imagination.

Tati has loved art ever since she was little, but only started drawing herself in 2016. Although she learned to draw all by herself and has only been drawing for a couple of years, her talent is obvious, and she’s managed to develop her own unique style pretty quickly.

There are so many artists out there that try to reimagine animated characters, and especially Disney characters, as something else, but Tati’s approach is unique. Her style is very different from the signature Disney style, and she doesn’t simply draw her favorite character more realistically–she gives them a new, modern character, that would put them right at home at any modern-day American high school.

In Tati’s version, Snow White isn’t just a goody-two-shoes with a nice singing voice, she’s a rebel, wearing a t-shirt that reads “not your housemaid,” Lilo from Lilo and Stitch rocks a crop-top with the word Sisterhood scribbled on it, and Marceline from Adventure Time is a badass guitar player. We always loved these characters, but Tati’s art helps us fall in love with them all over again.

Hi guys! Sophisticated Helena Bonham Carter as Yzma ♥☻💜 It's character from old @Disney movie – The Emperor's New groove. if you have not seen this movie I highly recommend it. ⠀ In the story, this beauty, really wants to sit on the imperial throne, but there is one small problem. The young emperor who is already sitting on it. But whom it will stop, especially if you're a Disney villain☻ ⠀ Would you like to be the ruler of a small (or not so) country? 👑 Of course, if you didn’t have to overthrow anyone 😅👌 I wouldn't want. Too much responsibility for me 😰🙈😄 ———————————————————- Привет друзья! Добавлю немного коварства в ваши ленты с помощью неподражаемой Хелены Бонем Картер в образе Измы. Это персонаж из уже довольно олдскульного мультика Диснея "Похождения императора" если вы его не смотрели, то вот прям рекомендую. Очень забавный мульт и персонажи 🔥🔥🔥😄👌 ⠀ По сюжету эта красавица, ну ооочень хочет сесть на императорский трон, но у неё есть одна маленькая проблемка. Молодой император, который уже на этом самом троне сидит. Но кого ж такое остановливало, тем более если ты диснеевский злодей☻ ⠀ А вы хотели бы быть правителем маленькой (или не очень) страны? 👑 При условии что никого не надо свергать с престола 😅👌 Я вот думаю, что нет. Ответственности слишком много 😰🙈😄

Have you ever looked at a movie star and thought to yourself “he’d be perfect in a live-action version of this Disney movie?” You’re not the only one, and Helen Morgun goes even beyond just thinking it and she applies her considerable sketching skills to turn her favorite celebrities into iconic Disney characters. Among her works you’ll find Margot Robbie as Elsa from Frozen, Megan Fox as the disguised Sea Witch from The Little Mermaid, Taylor Swift as Tinker Bell, to name a few.

Helen’s process is pretty complex. She starts by looking for an interesting character in the considerable repertoire of the studio. Then, she has to find the perfect celebrity to personify that character. They can be physically similar, or they can have similar personalities for the magic to work. Once she has the perfect reference, she starts planning her drawings.

Then she starts sketching. Like many modern artists, her favorite medium is digital art, and she works mostly on Photoshop. She combines the pose and facial features of the celebrities with the clothing, background, accessories, and companions of the relevant Disney character to create the perfect mashup of real-life and fantasy. 

The end result is a stunning and unique portrait that’ll give you a fresh perspective on Disney. Now all we have to do is wait for the studio to cast these actors as the leads in their live-action movies!

Hi guys! I am back. With #drawthisinyourstyle by amazing @lera_kiryakova Do you like circus and clowns? And did you recognize the girl? ⠀ Привет друзья. Я наконец-то в художественном строю. Очень хотела нарисовать эту девочку и поучаствовать в #нарисуйвсвоемстиле от Леры. #lerakiryakova_dtiys Манили меня эти рыжие кудряшки 😅 Ну и как можно пропустить такого замечательного персонажа. ⠀ Как обычно в таких случаях, я рисую кого-то из любимых актрис. Правда в этот раз ушла немного от реализма в стилизацию. Узнали эту рыжую девушку в гримме? И как у вас отношения с цирком и клоунами? Любите или боитесь 😜

Hi guys! It's one of my commission art, that I recently draw. I am still a little bit sick. But I try to fix that😅 ⠀ Are there any Harry Potter fans amoung you? ———————————————————–⠀ Привет друзья, Это один из недавних моих заказов с персонажами игры о Гарри Поттере. Я пока всё ещё в состоянии-нестояния. И ну и соответственно нерисования 😅😅😅 ⠀ Зато позволяю себе роскошь выспаться и посмотреть сериалы олдскульным способом, то есть – двумя глазами, а не как это обычно у нас у творческих людей происходит. В пол глаза и в пол уха, пока рисуешь 😜 ⠀ Смотрю сейчас чудесный сериал "Энн" про девочку сироту. Сериал изумительный. От души рекомендую. По духу напоминает Аббатство Даунтон или Сендинктон. Красота во всем от актеров до мельчайших деталей сюжета 💕 ⠀ Надеюсь скоро вернусь в творческий строй 😘

Hi guys! Sophisticated @taylorswift as Tinker Bell 💚💛💚 Please tag her in comments below. 😉 ————————————————————-⠀ Привет, друзья! Утонченная Тейлор Свифт в образе феи Тинкербель. Пару постов назад я спрашивала о том, какой ваш любимый персонаж Диснея. Бесспорным лидером стала Ариель. Но очень многие писали о этой фее. ⠀ Она мне тоже очень нравилась своим упорством в мультике. ✊😊 ⠀ У вас кстати как дела обстоят с этим качеством? Прёте как танк и стоите на своём или вы из тех кому "воспитание не позволяет"? ⠀ Я кстати очень долгое время, была из второй категории. Сейчас пытаюсь побороть свои привычки, но до танка мне пока ещё далеко 😅

“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.
