Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Raw Toast Design Graphics are Endearing

— April 29, 2012 — Art & Design
Raw Toast Design renders highly engaging illustrations, centralizing the use of warm colors and simplistic composition. The concise and minimalist lines used are almost child-like, creating a nostalgic appreciation. Also, the works are heavily weighed by character study. Each work is highly distinctive, allowing the audience to sink into an individually created narrative. Designer Jesse Kuhn’s titles are the finishing touch on these alluring works. With names like ‘Poor Little Calimari,’ how could you resist?

RTD is operated by designer Jesse Kuhn, who received his BFA from Missouri State. His artistic vision and entrepreneurial spirit has allowed him a certain edge in his work, which is noticeable in these featured drawings. Beyond his personal project success, Kuhn also co-created the Quirkles books, a series of educational children's books.
