I’ve been spending a lot of time on Posts lately, a social app that still feels like a cute little community of creative folks. I’ve been able to find some interesting folks to follow, such as designer and illustrator Hannah Lee. She recently announced her upcoming 2024 calendar (it’s available for pre-order) which features a super clean design paired with her very charming illustrations. I love how they come as loose sheets so that you can hang up as she has photographed, it looks so wonderful.

Japanese artist Yasuo-range considers herself a “graphical illustrator” which is a pretty apt description. Her work, which seamlessly blends digital and physical mediums, has influences that wander between abstraction, influences of the Bauhaus, and Japanese minimalism. There’s something so lovely about how she abstracts objects into these colorful still-life scenes. She gives our brains just enough information to start to pick out particular items, but in some cases, not quite enough, giving you time to look over the pieces trying to discern what is what.

I chanced upon the drawings of Kyoto-based illustrator Junkama, aka Jun Kumaori, who’s illustration style is one of the most unique I’ve seen in a while. The best way I can describe it is they are creating pixel drawings of photos from a digital camera from the 90’s. Odd bots of digital artificating popping up here and there, colorful moiré patterns, it’s such a fascinating approach.
