Gustavo Pergoli

Gustavo Pergoli-1-Design Crush

 

Loving these illustrated portraits by Sao Paulo, Brazil-based Gustavo Pergoli. Particularly that he happily varies style and approach while sticking to a portrait style. I’m especially drawn to the pieces that encapsulate a scene within – are those their thoughts? Flashbacks? What?!

Misato Suzuki

Misato Suzuki-1-Design Crush

 

Misato Suzuki was born in Japan and now resides in southern California. I think you can see elements of inspiration from both in each painting, whether it be the repetition of elements or the vibrant colors used.

Karin Haas

Karin Haas-1-Design Crush

 

New York City-based artist Karin Haas creates these paintings and pastels that remind me of the sweltering southwestern United States. To me the lines are indicative of the shimmery waves on hot pavement, the color palette like the landscape.

Margherita Morotti

Margherita Morotti-1-Design Crush

 

Italian illustrator Margherita Morotti works mainly with a mixture of indian ink, ecoline, gouache, and oil color when creating her powerful works of art. I can literally feel the angst and tension and everything else when looking at each piece.

Sergio Membrillas

Sergio Membrillas-1-Design Crush

 

Simplicity is underrated, and it would seem Valencia-based illustrator Sergio Membrillas would agree. Both his editorial pieces and posters are taken down to the bare minimum, letting our eyes decipher the simple shapes and bold colors for what they really are.

Columbian artist Juan Osorno‘s delicately illustrated pieces are something to behold. His studies are simultaneously exploratory and introspective. For more of Juan’s work and process check out his Instagram account.

Shelby Ling

Shelby Ling-1-Design Crush

 

I’m digging Shelby Ling‘s loosey goose style, particularly in the plant illustrations. Maybe it’s because I have warm weather on my mind, and can hardly wait to whip my backyard into decent shape and haul out the deck furniture this weekend. At any rate, you can pick up something for yourself in Shelby’s shop!
