Color obsessed visual artist, Jade Purple Brown, has a name to match her vocation. “My name was actually given to me by a friend who was trying to figure out my middle name,” she explained in an interview with Design Milk. “She jokingly guessed Purple since my first and last name already happen to be colors. I loved the way Jade Purple Brown sounded, so I decided to use it as my artist name. My name is a clear depiction of my work: colorful, strong, and unique.”

Based in New York, Brown uses graphic design, illustration, and art direction to create content for fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands. Using bold blocks of color and strong female figures, she creates dynamic artworks that are aimed at encouraging herself and others to be more optimistic and free.

“I love creating designs and illustrations for brands that share a similar vision and purpose,” she adds in the interview. “It’s the best feeling when brands specifically come to me for my personal style and push me to pump out my very best work.” And with more than 30k followers on Instagram, as well as selected clients that include Apple, Facebook, Sephora, and Google – people are clearly taking note.

“I love collecting 70’s interior design books for inspiration,” added Brown, talking about her sources of inspiration. “The over-the-top colorful palettes, quirky motifs, and the overall carefree attitude of the 70s excite me, and those are elements that I like to bring into my work.” She adds that she also loves people-watching in New York City. “The mix of different personalities and styles easily translate to my illustration work, inspiring me to create characters that are bold and unique,” she says.

Australian illustrator and graphic designer Rebecca Mills is a master of vector illustration, employing simplified geometric shapes, crisp edges, smooth curves, and bright (but considered) color palettes, to create vibrant artwork that really pops!

With a BA in Graphic Design from Curtin University of Technology and 12 years of experience behind her, she knows what she likes and she does it well. “My work is digital,” she stressed in an interview with Ballpitmag. “I have so much respect for those working in traditional media without the magic of undo and easy proportion/scale adjustments. Being able to adjust colors globally is also something I really love. Everything looks better when slid -5 on hue!”

Indeed, her work is very much color driven. “Once I get a brief, I sketch while split-screen researching on my iPad (normally on the couch with the terrible TV on in the background),” she says. “Once the sketches are approved by my client, it’s color blocking time. If the brief allows, I’ll bring into PS and go nuts with homemade paint textures and brushes.”

With a little over 10k fans on Instagram and selected clients that include the Perth Zoo, the State Library of Western Australia, and the University of New England, people are clearly taking note!

I can’t believe it’s been nearly an entire month since I got to meet the amazing crew at Procreate at their Hobart office. I have LOVED this app from the moment I first tried it at the Apple store in Perth, and after seeing how genuine, hard working and just… freaking NICE the team are that are behind it has made me love it even more. ⠀ ⠀ Did you catch the Live Stream with me and Procreate Oprah (Georgie) on the couch? I walked through the new in built Colour Harmony tool which is completely game changing. During the Live Stream, I started with a flat values illustration and coloured it in two ways, one complementary and one analogous, using the Colour Harmony Tool. If you missed it, it’s up on @procreate’s YouTube. I have since spent some time working them up (and tried triadic too!). Swipe through and let me know which is you’re fave. Slide 4 shows the original values illustration. ⠀ ⠀ I have mocked these up on a Gen 2 iPad Pro as that’s what I use (and therefore what my screenshots fit). ⠀ ⠀ My top 5 fave features of the new update:⠀ 1 – Floating Colour Picker (which is now completely bug free and lovely to work with). ⠀ 2 – Colour Harmony Tool⠀ 3 – THE BRUSHES OMG⠀ 4 – Animation Assist – I’m not an animator but am working on a few things in my spare time. Most are terrible but it’s so fun. ⠀ 5 – Clone tool is life saving. ⠀ #procreate @procreate #procreate5 #ipadpro #dribbblers #dribbble #illustrator #perthart #perthillustrator #toucanart #australianillustrator⠀
