Jonathan Ball

I generally shy away from all the vector based art/illustration that’s floating around out there. I am drawn more to art that I can touch. But on this gloomy-ass Friday, faced with a weekend spent deep cleaning my old apartment, the brightly colored, character-based vector work of Jonathan Ball (Pokedstudio) was just the ticket. It turned everything around. Literally. Five minutes after I looked at Ball’s illustrations the clouds broke a little and I found out I was having lots of free pizza for lunch. Coincidence? I say no. Jonathan’s got every digital style under the sun in his arsenal, and they all look clean and deadly in his hands. Clearly the universe was peering over my shoulder and took notice of the skills. Top that off with the healthy does of inspiration I got from all that vector kung fu mastery, and voila, the day turns positive.
