Scott Laumann

Scott Laumann is an interesting artist because i have found that he doesn’t always use the same techniques or materials in every piece of work. In particular though i was drawn to his ink block printed images which are bright and simple but also quite thoughtful and often represent much more complex ideas. Previous clients include Rolling Stone, Warner Brothers, Forbes and New York Times.



This is the first image i found in a magazine which i was instantly drawn to because of it's bright colours and interesting composition. I love the way that each cup is overlaid onto another cup creating a different tone of colour but the brightest and most noticeable has been sat prominently in the centre of the image. 


I really like the rough effect that all of Laumann's work has; the blocks of colour which look slightly faded or still have white areas where the ink hasn't covered properly. This is another of my favourite images, because of the depth created by the two images overlapping and the cut out 3D looking heart.
