argentinian inspiration

I was checking out the Design*Sponge blog and saw this post about Argentinian artist, Lucas Rise, which was inspiring to me in a few different ways.

First, he paints these vibrant, colorful cabinets in latin, tribal, kaleidoscope-like patterns that are really fun and whimsical. Great inspiration for furniture painting projects or even mural compositions.



Such intricate detail:


But then, when I went to his website, even that was designed totally in line with his overall style and aesthetic.


His own design influences are from carnaval, the circus, and the park, and the combination of patterns and colors on his site--although very busy--still works for me. He uses a few different, stylized fonts, but they complement each other and still feel fun on the site.




Celebrate bold color, complex patterns, geometric shapes and energy!

I really really love this. :) It really inspires me and makes me happy... imagine waking up in your room every day, and that is the first thing that you see! Definitely a good sign of a bright cheery day.

Ah, I wish I could have my own apartment!
