the peak of style


hey, if you're scrolling down as-per-normal, you won't realize this is actually the second time tonight i'm showcasing the genius work of illustrator bob peak. the more i look at his work, the more i'm stunned by it. it is so rare that i look at an artist's work, and want to change absolutely nothing. (just for the record, i feel the same way when i look at anything by jean-luc.) but hey, back to peak... dig how 'just right' this ad for menswear is... the lines are fine when they need to be fine, and bold where they need to be bold. the harmony of the colors is ...well, harmonious. this ad is perfect. like, check out the detail on the edge of the armchair. how groovy is that? i love everything about how he rendered the girl on the right. look at how sweetly the cuff of her sleeve edges against his neck-and-collar area. man, like, i'm even blown away by where he chose to add the folds in the fabric. just marvelous.
