Hannah Stouffer is a Los Angeles Angeles-based illustrator, and her work is nothing short of breathtaking. From her site:
The heart of darkness exists within the light. Black Dawn, Dawn After Dawn Tepid Neon, Frozen Clarity.
This contrast, and the ever present existence of the two is constant. Macabre Elegance. Darkness Falls Forever… Since The Beginning.
So much depth, so much color, so much detail and mystique, it’s almost difficult to take in all that’s going on in these illustrations. And Stouffer is certainly anything but a ‘one trick pony.’ Her portfolio boasts a range of styles, typographical work, and art direction that renders her open to lots of different kinds of projects.
