Linzie Hunter

Julie McLaughlin

I love the delicate precision of these illustrations by Francisco Miranda of TOOCO—such a beautiful, restrained color palette. His website is currently under construction, but you can browse more of his work on Flickr. via Illustrativo
Color Happy 9
Intense color from painter Sam Songailo. There’s so much layering in this piece that it was difficult to pull out all the colors, so I’m sure I’m not doing the palette justice, but the swatches do look pretty amazing together.…

Today I’m in the mood for bright pops of color set against gray, a this pattern by Helen Dardik fits the bill. See more of her work on her blog or at Lilla Rogers Studio, where she is represented.
