In Halloween Mood, the Patternbank team thought we’d share these unique and stylish illustrations. Graham Erwin, a designer, illustrator and screen printer based in Columbus, Ohio.

These glitch fuelled visuals are the stunning work of Hong Kong based artist and photographer Laurent Segretier. His digital artworks take on new forms when computer screens displaying original photos are smashed up and then re-photographed. Amazing and refreshing stuff, see more of his work on his tumblr site – monsieurchon.
These sweeping strokes and flashes of pattern are a signature style for painter Ky Anderson. His work is inspired by memories and the objects and shapes which obscure our view into the far distance. Patternbank love the contrast of naive painting and his balanced use of muted colour combinations.
Patternbank love the sketchy quality in the work of graphic artist Philip Dennis. Trained in illustration at University of Brighton, Dennis spent time in Japan before returning to the U.K. to focus on his illustration. His style is heavily influenced by comic books and the hatching techniques used by artist John Romita Jr. who fired his interest in illustration as a child. Dennis creates his pieces by scanning, layering and collaging his hand drawn images and experimental mark making on the computer, and finally colours them digitally to produce the final artwork.
When mapped and color-coded, the brain is a beautiful thing. These mind blowing visuals are images of the human brain’s pathways, tracking the circuits in our heads and showing how we process information with bright, neon colors. The Human Connectome Project are the masterminds behind these amazing unearthly looking scientific studies.
Patternbank are loving Huang Qi Lin’s geometry and mathematical fueled visual structures. These mesmerizing artworks explore the scientific beauty of maths through typography and linear form. The ‘Eureka’ branding project for Elaine Wong includes three sections: Eureka Ornament, Eureka Pattern & Eureka Type. Check out more of Huang Qi Lin’s work at the Chinese Designers Union CDA.

These amazingly powerful, experimental drawings and paintings are the creations of Tosha Albor. Tosha is a visual artist born in Manila and currently based in San Francisco. She completed a BTEC in Fine Art at the University for the Creative Arts in Canterbury, UK.
