I've had the above two images sitting on my desktop for a few months, simply there to serve as a pleasantry to view from time to time. The work is by Japanese illustrator Eizin Suzuki, a man with a talent for finding that perfect balance of simplicity and detailed. The official portfolio of work isn't the most pleasant to browse but if you have the patience, you will find the most delightful creations. The inclusion of random color spots and confetti flying around gives most of his work a feeling of some upbeat occasion having just happened.

Poke around and find pieces from his Light Falls series, that perfectly depicts realistic shadowcasting while still feeling like a foreign otherworld.

Fun fact, the first world of the first Sonic the Hedgehog game ("Green World") was directly inspired by Suzuki's color palettes.
