Toronto-based designer/illustrator Leeay Aikawa has a special talent for crafting mixed media collages that are simply fascinating.
Leeay on her inspiration:
I like mixing old and new, classical and edgy, to create a bizarre world. In a way, this multi-cultured city of Toronto established me as a collage artist as this city shows lots of opposite combos like that and always surprises me!
In addition to her work as a Staff Illustrator for Rookie, she’s had her collage and illustration work featured in The New York Times, The Stranger, Le Monde, The Atlantic, The Globe and Mail and beyond.
There’s much more to see on her website, so be certain to check it out!
