Drawing inspiration from the modern world, Texan artist Gary Grayson uses a mix of pop art, vintage vector, impressionism and portraiture to create striking images of anything from beloved pets to legendary music icons.
A lifelong artist and collector of antique books and prints, Grayson has worked for over 35 years in advertising and graphic design. A fan of contemporary literature as well as art, it’s easy to see Grayson’s modern and playful influences in this cover design.
Inspired by a diverse artist’s palette, Grayson employs an array of multidisciplinary art and techniques. As we see in the piece reproduced here, Grayson blends his contemporary influences with those from nature, creating a truly magical manifestation of a garden scene that wholly captures our imaginations.
With a vibrant parrot taking center stage in front of a lush jungle backdrop, this Tropical Garden design transports us to an exotic paradise. Pops of bold colour showcase Grayson’s view of the natural world as revealed in a playful and enigmatic nature montage.
