# Intricately Abstract Art The Trippy Technicolor Illustrations of Peter Diamond By Armida Ascano | Published 2010-09-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peter-diamond References: [sweet-station](http://www.sweet-station.com/blog/?p=13414) & [peterdiamond](http://www.peterdiamond.ca/index.html) Canadian-born illustrator Peter Diamond began drawing as a young child. His first taste of professional illustration involved zombies, skulls, brains and blood for punk rock posters in High School. Thus, the slight morbidity and strangeness of Peter Diamond's [intricate art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-decors) is right in line with his experience. The work in his portfolio pulls from a wide range of inspirations. Some art is reminiscent of his punk rock days, while some seems to nod towards anime art. Regardless, Peter Diamond has undeniable imagination and skill. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, 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 - **Multicultural Art:** Opportunity to incorporate multiple cultures in art and showcase diversity. - **Psychedelic Art:** Opportunity to introduce more vibrant and trippy art styles in various industries. - **Abstract Illustrations:** Opportunity to create intricate and creative illustrations that tell a story or evoke emotions. ### Who This Affects Most - **Entertainment:** Incorporating multicultural and psychedelic art within movies, music videos, and video games. - **Advertising:** Using abstract illustrations in advertisements to capture attention and tell a brand's unique story. - **Fashion:** Incorporating intricate and colorful designs in clothing and accessories to showcase individuality and uniqueness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Eye-Catching Textile Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peter-saville-1.md) - [Limited 3D-Printed Ceramic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dyadic-series.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Intersecting Dimensional Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diorama.md) - [Playful Doodle-Emblazoned Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-cox.md) - [Cartoon Painting Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cartoon-painting-collections-diamond-art-club-and-paramount-join-forces-for.md) - [Extravagant Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-of-extraleganza.md) - [Illusion-Inspired Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripples-collection.md) - [Starry-Eyed Dichroic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starryeyed-dichroic-sculpture.md)
