I love the amazing textures that fills the work of Tatsuro Kiuchi
Most of them look like screenprints – there’s layers of colors and beautiful edges that makes it special. His technique of using warm color palettes and the various textures he adds into his work often reminds me of illustrated posters in the 1950s.

A lot of his personal work features his dog, Chai, who I think I’m in love with!

See more of his work over at his website and buy some of his artwork over at 20×200.

Louis Reith

These deceptively simple geometric art is by Netherland-based artist Louis Reith, who renders them in ink, pencil and collage. His study on shapes and the relationships between them make for interesting compositions – especially since everything is abstracted and filtered down to the simplest and purest of form.

You can buy some of his work over at Little Paper Planes.
