# Intriguing Organic Illustrations These Nature-Infused Illustrations are Made with Green Leaves By Lacey-Jane Walsh | Published 2013-07-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-leaves References: [illusion.scene360](http://illusion.scene360.com/art/45881/leaf-art-imaginative-tales/) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/tangchiewling) This fantastic nature-based series by graphic designer Tang Chiew Ling incorporates [green leaves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaf-house-1) in various [inked illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawing-series). The use of [organic, unusual materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abney-effect) makes this green series stand out. Environmental products and marketing are extremely popular right now, so it’s interesting to see that pattern occurring in the art world as well. Tang Chiew Ling literally uses pieces of the surrounding environment to complete his artworks. The inked portions of these pictures depict people doing things like walking in the rain under an umbrella, holding onto a bunch of balloons and blowing bubbles. In one piece, Ling uses a green leaf as a cloud and tears up another leaf to create rain drops. This delightful series is entitled ‘What a Wonderful Childhood.’ Since creating these leafy artworks, Ling has also created a few similar series. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Nature-inspired Art:** Artists are incorporating organic materials and nature-infused designs into their artwork, creating opportunities for eco-friendly and sustainable products/services. - **Environmental Marketing:** As environmental products and marketing become more popular, businesses can leverage this trend to appeal to eco-conscious consumers. - **Unconventional Materials:** Using unique materials such as green leaves in artistic creations is a growing trend, providing opportunities for sustainable and eco-friendly innovations. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** The integration of nature and organic materials into artistic creations can inspire artists and designers to create new styles and techniques in their work. - **Environmental Products:** The rise of environmental marketing and interest in eco-friendly materials creates an opportunity for businesses in the environmental products industry to expand their offerings. - **Sustainable Fashion:** Fashion designers can take inspiration from using unconventional materials such as green leaves in clothing designs, creating more eco-friendly and sustainable options for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nature-Inspired Design Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-2.md) - [Leaf-Inspired Colorful Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaf-tray.md) - [Organic Striking Tower Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-leaves.md) - [Blooming Clustered Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Nature Care Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/livio.md) - [Organic Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roots-collection-1.md) - [Nature-Inspired Lifestyle Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supernatural.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md)
