Charley Harper is someone that inspired me last year for his use of colour and shape. What I find most fascinating about his work is that it was produced completely by hand, yet the work is so precise, it looks as though it could have been created on a computer. The subject matter in a lot of his work was based on science, yet his style made it interesting to the viewer, which for a mundane subject is extremely hard to do. Though you are able to tell what each animal is in his work, Charley creates characters and gives each animal a personality, making his work extremely unique.
