London, New York, Barcelona and more – settings around the world are brought to life in a colourful and character-filled style by English illustrator Mohan Ballard. His work has been compared to that of the great painter LS Lowery, and that’s a testament to his skills, though you’ll usually see a lot more fun and colour in one of Mohan’s pieces.
For inspiration, Mohan travels and explores, taking in the great cities and their buildings. “European architecture, such as that in Paris or Germany, is always a big winner for me,” he says. “Colourful architecture is my main passion. I love to find vibrant, colourful buildings.”
With influences that include LS Lowry and fellow illustrator Jonny Hannah, Mohan also loves stylised movies like Pulp Fiction, TV shows such as The Sopranos, and he’s a huge Arsenal fan. His next foray in search of buildings to inspire him could well be to New York, a city he he’d love to visit.
