Klaus Haapaniemi























He creates worlds and scenes of pure whimsy and beauty and he does it an a way no one else could even begin to imagine. Another of my favorites, Klaus Haapaniemi has a style unlike anyone else I have seen. Intricate, detailed, vibrant and almost a throwback to the beautifully real/surreal illustrations one saw when they were a child. When things weren't simplified down to mere shapes and pastel colors, as if children today don't have the ability to process complex visuals. I think in this sense his illustrations are very pure. You can check out more of his work at Big Active or visit his website HERE, which is under construction but will hopefully be up soon!
