These are some of my favorites by Daniele Caruso and I am in awe of the details in his designs - especially the highlights and shadows.

Though Caruso is a freelance artist - he is also an Illustrator for Ruroc, a company that specializes in creating quality helmets for use in extreme sports and other environments where necessary.

Some strokes of the brush along with a little bit of lead - I’m loving these textured patterns created within the shapes of the characters by Drzymała. Her art makes me feel like a kid again, full of imagination and life - so remember, don’t forget to dream every now and then : )

Artist : Kenbasa Harrell (∞)
Founder of Soul Brush Creative
based in Wake Forest, North Carolina

I started following Harrell earlier this year and many of his designs brought back fond memories related to certain video games, those cool 90s era vibes, and television shows I watched as a child. I truly dig the name ‘Soul Brush Creative’, his overall design style, presentation, artist collaborations, and audience engagement.

I have compiled a few of my favorites below, but please do your due diligence and support a dope creator by checking out his Instagram profile link at the top of this post.
