Oriol Angrill Jordà-1-Design Crush

 

Winter evenings make for the best stargazing in my book, and that’s exactly what Oriol Angrill Jordà‘s Stellarscapes remind me of. Dreamy, ethereal, and slightly magical, only a few of these pieces exist as of now. However, other work by Jordà also plays with the merging of human and nature in Blendscapes.

Nina Torr

Nina Torr-1-Design Crush

 

Nina Torr (aka Andy Wyeth) is a Pretoria-based illustrator with a penchant for animals in the wild and the beauty of the human hand. She captures both with exquisite flair and personality, sometimes together. (Nina’s love of skeletons is also beautifully represented.)

RJ Gemmell‘s somber illustrations seem perfect for late December, where grey days abound and the days are still short while the nights are long. I love the offbeat perspective each one exhibits because they take me back to how my mind as a child translated dimensions.

Scotland-born, Brooklyn-based Katy Smail has a portfolio full of pieces that exhibit her modern illustration chops. I especially love the way she handles hair on the ladies that grace her work as well as her tendency to show great detail in some features, while keeping others as stark as possible.

Cabins

EXPLORATEURS_final

 

This time of year it’s difficult not to daydream of running off to some distant locale where holiday stresses cease to exist. Cabins is full of modern architectural illustrations by Marie-Laure Cruschi and is making it all the more difficult to be present these last few weeks of the year. Wouldn’t you love to escape to one of these beauties for the holidays?
