Design Inspiration: Kevin Dart

Kevin Dart is an American freelance illustrator whose artwork for Yuki 7, an original character he created, has recently gained popularity on the net. He's extremely talented, and his blog entries that explain his development of his Yuki 7 character are fascinating. I love how accurately his paintings capture a colorful 60s film vibe.

Design Inspiration: Charley Harper

Charley Harper (1922–2007) was an artist from Cincinnati who specialized in vector-like paintings of wildlife, mostly for nature-based organizations. He has such an amazing eye for giving his subjects an abstract look that conveys a lot with simple shapes.
