GJ Lee is an artist who is inspired by [animation and comic art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/o-series). GJ Lee describes the awesome art as “flat scenes of people, places and interactions,” which can be used as “places to reflect in or runaway to.” The artworks are a delight to the eyes, featuring surprise patches of [bright colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow) such as reds and blues, while the rest of the pictures are in black and white.

GJ Lee features [animals in almost every picture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-generator), sometimes just floating in mid-air. I like the image with the ferris wheel, where fish are floating around randomly while people stand about. I love how GJ Lee’s art is so different from everything I have ever seen. It is like a breath of fresh air!
