I like using shape in my work but I am unsure about the aesthetic created by illustrator. I think it sometimes looks a little too crisp and clear for my personal taste. I enjoy something will a little more texture and a handmade aesthetic. I do however understand why it would be so commercially popular because it creates these immediate and digestible images. Despite my aversion to illustrator however I do like the work of Blex bolex. I think the way that he allows the shapes and colours to overlap provides this handmade aesthetic reminiscent of screen printing (which he does a lot of as well I think). He is also really effective in using negative/white space to create extra shapes in his work.
