I love the whitewashed, worn in quality of Jing Wei’s illustration work. The Brooklyn-based artist created the series of pieces below for Electric Literature, a bi-monthly anthology of short fiction, on the topic of getting lost.

Gorgeous work! Thanks for posting. I’m pretty sure she achieves that whitewashed worn quality you mention because they’re Japanese style woodblock prints (using water colour inks).
Gorgeous and inspiring. Thanks!!!
