In terms of style, the illustrations are infectiously [psychedelic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow), drawing on [fractal-like patterns that repeat themselves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/what-are-you-looking-at) with subtle variations to hypnotize the viewer in a sea of bright colors and curving shapes. Bingham renders each illustration with a muted sense of depth that emphasizes the crisp and neat quality of his drawing. The eyes are portrayed with various expressions. Some are open and alert, whereas others are half-closed and dopey. Multiple expressions are found in each piece, giving the illustrations a welcome amount of substantive texture while maintaining stylistic coherence. All in all, the illustrations are quite pleasing to the eye. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Psychedelic Art:** Explore opportunities to incorporate vibrant colors and fractal-like patterns into various art forms. - **Multimedia Illustrations:** Leverage the use of multiple expressions and various materials to create visually engaging artworks. - **Eye-centric Design:** Integrate eye motifs and bold visuals into design elements for a captivating and immersive user experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Discover innovative techniques and materials to create unique and visually stunning artworks. - **Graphic Design:** Experiment with eye-centered designs and incorporate vibrant colors to create attention-grabbing graphics. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Incorporate eye motifs and hypnotic visuals in advertising campaigns to captivate and engage consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Limited Humorous Art Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-shrigley-1.md) - [Eye-Adorned Furry Mules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyeball-mules.md) - [Spiky Inflatable Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-sculptures1.md) - [Glass Beaded Intricate Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition.md) - [Artful Illusory Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-artwork.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Playful Doodle-Emblazoned Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-cox.md) - [Gem-Like Sculptural Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cylindrical-lenses.md)
