Gabriel Moreno Illustrations
Following the end of this semester, AKA the end of sleepless nights and excessive coffee which gives me heart vibrations, I woke up today and read My Modern Metropolis like it was the morning papers. Whilst savouring a kebab, I stumbled upon these meticulous illustrations by Madrid-based artist Gabriel Moreno.
His illustrations are a sweet combination of painting and ballpoint pen work. I admire how he makes the most of negative space to induce richly intricate optical illusions. I like how they float in between expressionless and flamboyant. He's also been featured in several national and international publications and ad campaigns inclusive of the LA times, Rolling Stone and Esquire. Fantastic work.
