Colorful and simple (compared to other [paper creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pastille) Trend Hunter has featured before), these works of art are actually realistic illustrations. A designer and illustrator, London-based Owen Glidersleeve is part of the Evening Tweed design collective. He boasts clients such as The TATE, The Guardian The New York Times and [Fast Company Magazine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aluminum-outdoor-furniture).
