China Ink Drawings by Merijn Hos
April 1, 2009 // Art + Illustration

Merijn Hos, whom you might remember from his wallpaper, is starting to blow up in a big way. Some of you may have seen his collaboration with LeSportsac, or maybe you saw his work animated on YoGabbaGabba! (how awesome is that Clientele song, btw?). But I’m really in love with these China ink drawings he did. They look like old Victorian era drawings, but with a playful, childlike twist.

You can pick up a colored version of a print like this over at Wilkintie for $80.

  1. These are gorgeous. I love the detail he puts into them. I’m always so worried working with ink cause it’s one of those mediums where you sorta only have one chance at it. But clearly this guy is a pro. Love it!

  4. I just found your blog through Stickers & Donuts and I’m very happy I did! Excellent work.

    Also, I ABSOLUTELY-POSITIVELY LOVE THESE PRINTS! They remind me of Edward Gorey, and I love him too!
