Mark Hall-Patch Illustrates a Cool Collection of Autumn Attire
Jason Soy — November 28, 2011 — Art & Design
I wouldn't mind owning every piece of apparel found in these Mark Hall-Patch watercolor paintings.
From stylish Autumn cardigans and wicked jean vests to The Cure-inspired concert tees and burgundy letterman jackets, Mark Hall-Patch turns these seemingly mundane pieces of attire into warming pieces of art, which he sells on his Etsy account.
The images are beautifully rendered, displaying Hall-Patch's attention to detail while still maintaining a rustic handmade quality to the finished pieces, making them all that much more alluring. I mean, who else would take the time to illustrate coat hangers and loose threads? I know I wouldn't.
To make these creative illustrations even that much more special, Mark Hall-Patch paints them on archival paper and sells only originals, not prints.
