A Seasonal Study of an Imaginary Forest by Jon Ashcroft
September 24, 2009 // Design + Illustration

Fall in Los Angeles doesn’t really seem to hit until early Novemeber, but every now and then you have to wear a hoodie and you remember it’s not always summer here. I’m actually looking forward to fall and winter and getting bundled up, and the illustration above by Jon Ashcroft is a suitable reminder that it’s gonna be getting cold soon. I love how vertical this is, for lack of a better word, and the colors are totally spot on and beautiful. I want a print of this Jon!

  2. I love seeing things that make me think of fall because it is my favorite season…I love thinking of the smells of fall and I really like how the colors in this remind me of them. Even though I just have my a/c on, I kinda wanna go put on a hoodie too…

  6. Consider it yours!

    I’m actually without the joy of seasons myself seeing as how I live in Phoenix Arizona. Well thats not completely true we have two seasons, Hot and Freakin Ridiculously Hot.

  9. Seriously rockin’ work, Doctor Ashcroft. I feel like you’ve been holding out on us, though. You can make it up by presenting me with a print, too!

  17. This has always been one of my favorites! I am thrilled to see that some of the rest of the design world gets to enjoy it too. I of course love the colors but love how big the trees are and how small the people are. I love how the more you look at it the more you see. I’ve been begging for a print since I saw it but if it takes it being posted on a sweet blog to get you to print it then I don’t care!
