These ink illustrations by New York-based artist Kelsey Montague boast character and whimsicality. She creates her drawings by using a pen and ink style, which she penned during her art studies in Florence and London.
The worldly creative documents each of her works through her Instagram account and in turn, she gains a slew of followers. Each drawing is like a mirage of everyday objects and people; each image conceals another image and so forth. They all differ in subject but keep to the same ink aesthetic. Some boast animal form, while others boast flowers and people that burst with vibrant patterns.
The artist attributed her creativeness to "completely losing [herself] in the flow of images" and it is clear to see.
