Illustrations by Blanca Gómez
Link: http://www.cosasminimas.com/
We first discovered the minimalistic, adorable design and illustration work of Madrid-based Blanca Gómez, through Uppercase Gallery. Blanca's illustration of the little man blowing colorful bubbles graced the cover of the first issue of the Uppercase magazine.
Above is Blanca's new Autumn print, which is available for purchase.
Her designs come to life in many different forms, and we recommend taking
a browse through her Etsy shop.
