Locust with Chainsaw

Man and Pug

Bad Hair Day
Came across Netherland-based illustrator, Esther Aarts, via one of our favorite blogs, GrainEdit.com. In an age of slick, gradientastic photoshopfabulous graphics, her style is reminscent of a different time a different place, and a completely long gone pace. Aarts employs soft, fuzzy textures that certainly aren't found in the photoshop filter library. And while her color palettes are gorgeous, I particularly love her collection of black and white marker doodles (shown above).
Best of all, this girl's sense of humor.
