Artist Profile: Morgan Blair

Given some of my previous post subjects, it seems I’m definitely attracted to immensely colorful and heavily patterned artwork. Perhaps it’s because it differs so much from my own comparatively minimal & restrained design work? Regardless, I think it’s the irrepressible energy of this type of work that keeps me coming back for more. Young Brooklyn artist Morgan Blair is no different with patterns-a-plenty, rainbow colors, and style that easily traverses from illustration to painting to grafitti. She cites Legos, Maya Hayuk, nostalgia and forts (agreed, who doesn’t love a good fort?!) as a few of her influences. If you’re nerding out over this like I am, frankly, you should drop what you’re doing read this interview with Morgan over at Doodler’s Annonymous. She actually drew the answers to their interview questions. What a clever monkey.
