Beci Orpin

I am always impressed by illustrators, but Beci Orpin is extra inspirational because of how she has applied her illustration skills to a diverse range of applications from fashion prints to book covers and a myriad of things in between. Her website is full of brilliantly colourful backgrounds showcasing each project. Check out a few of my favourites below as well as the rest of her portfolio here.

Lazy Days of Summer

I was thinking of cottages, hazy skies and vivid sunsets when creating this little illustrated phrase! My goal is to create some type of design or visual idea every couple of days.
