Hey, PH. I'm really happy to share this labor of love with you: A free illustration library of hand-drawn artwork for use in websites and apps.
And this is truly a labor of love. Let me explain:
Today commercial art is more visually colorful, elaborate, and abundant than any of those early creators could dream of. It is also hideous and soulless. It’s a genre of mass-produced artwork that’s created by computers for the benefit of computers. And it’s everywhere.
Art, even commercial art, is a categorically human enterprise. Why do we decorate our products, workspaces, and tools? Because we need beauty to remind us that we have souls. There’s a connection between humans that comes with every hand-drawn image. Commercial artists in the past drew images to sell newspapers, shampoo, and calendars but they did it in a way that touches our souls even a century later. I think we should try to do the same with our products.
That’s what I’m trying to do with the Humanities illustrations: Create commercial artwork by humans for humans.
The art we created is hand-drawn. It comes with all the imperfections and inspirations of every real illustration. Each illustration is limited and enhanced by the talent of their creator—but they all have a human creator and they’re meant to be enjoyed by humans. They came from a place of inspiration and followed the laborious path of every work to completion, not perfection.
This library is for you to use on your own sites to bring a human touch to your products.
These look very unique and I somehow feel 2d illustration gives a personal touch to the website. Like a hand drawn birthday card haha . Congrats on the launch!
