Sean Wei sure knows how to put together visually stimulating pictures. With [vibrant pastel colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorama), beautiful stylized women and innocuous looking animals, these [digital paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-digital-artwork) can bring out the girly girl in even the burliest of men.

Though Sean Wei crafted these collage images using computer software, he did mix a myriad of techniques and media to create each piece. The women and animals appear to be [hand drawn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition), while the runny watercolors were clearly added in later to enhance movement in his pictures. Wei also includes geometric patterns into the backgrounds of each rendering, ultimately giving his illustrations a combined analog and digital feel.

Sean Wei currently resides in Taipei, Taiwan, where he works as a commercial designer and a graffiti artist. His affiliation with urban street art definitely comes through even in professional projects made for clients.
