Evan Hecox

Evan Hecox is based in Colorado. He's a designer and artist who's work portrays the life of  urban environments. His work has exhibited in places from Los Angeles, to London, and even Tokyo.

I find it interesting how he uses limited colour, as to me this has a big effect on the image. These colours remind me of hot places, which it seems to be where the image is based.

I find it very effective how he's used one block colour and used white as the lining, it gives it a very different but interesting effect. I don't usually like bold colours but I feel that Hecox has made this look very well. If you see deeper into this the image, the colour could symbolise the mood and feelings of the illustration. 

This images kind-of reminds me of a sahara desert with the deep 'warm' colours. The black also adds intensity and could symbolise darkness and nightfall, which os really interesting.

I find Evan's work simple, effecting and also purposeful. He may be an inspiration for me in the future.
