While I appreciate masterfully drafted, detailed drawing as much as the next artsy, what really gets my heart pumpin’ is a looser, more child-like style.  So the work of Spanish artist Paz Lopez immediately caught my eye when I spotted it on the Anthology Magazine blog!

These quick, sketchy mixed media pieces have the feeling of those frenetic, emotion filled pieces of artwork we created as we tore through a stack of drawing paper as children. ( Tell me I wasn’t the only child who did that! )

Yet compositionally, these are so much more than child-like sketches.  Lopez’s use of color and texture perfectly balance the lines and text, the elements fitting onto the page just so.
