This work, with all its textured bits of minutiae, demonstrates how easy it is to get lost in Henry McCausland’s beautiful illustrations. The British artist (he lives in Kent) deploys an exceptional color palette and the all-pervasive movement in many of his pieces is arresting. See his website, here.

Such a great piece of art. What I like is that it appears we are on top of a mountain or in a plane/helicopter, looking down or even spying on someone’s day. Amazing, the angle and details. So appreciate his details on the bricks too.
You’re right about his perspective, so well done. The angle and the details, especially, as you note. Thank you as always for your insightful comments
I love it. Even though the art has lots of detail, it still leaves a lot to the imagination as well. Another artist who would be an awesome children’s book illustrator.
That’s so true about children’s book illustration. Thanks for the comment.
Wow. Your work is really different and awesome.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying this blog.
So curious, they would kill my cat!
Love the color and the directional tilts
Yes, his perspective is amazing, no?

Precisely, and if you have time, browse the editorial and commercial work on his website. Unbelievably good.
