Inspiration

Andrew is a 23 year old illustrator from Auckland, New Zealand. I wish I knew the right words to describe my feelings for his work. If I had to try I think it’s probably his kooky style that I really dig– his off-beat color schemes, low saturation, and cartoon-y figures. Major eye candy. I’m loving it.

I grew up with pens and paint but then the personal computer dominated the world and so I had to try it out, which is reflected in my work. I use a healthy mix of both traditional and digital techniques with no real preference of medium. I didn’t take art through my younger years, but I did eat crayons which quite possibly is where my off-beat colour palettes come from.

Check out more from Andrew at his portfolio and let me know what you think via twitter or facebook!

Mike Lynch shares some of his tips for traveling with ink, nibs, and brushes. Taping a brush between two pieces of card stock is brilliant, and I don’t know why I never thought of it before.
