I find Dave Collinson's '2010 Illustration' portfolio fascinating. Not only because the work itself is amazing, but because there's a simplicity in the extreme intricacy of his craft. Perhaps it's the muted palette or the thin strokes, but I don't find myself lost in the details. Instead, I'm able to appreciate each piece as a whole.
Based in Brisbane, Australia, Dave Collinson also works as a motions graphic designer. Focusing on fashion and female forms, I can't wait to see what he has in store for 2011.
