Subtly Geometric Birds

There’s something a little bit mesmerizing about Aled Thompson’s illustrations of birds. They are at once highly detailed and also slightly vectorish — and it shifts back and forth while I’m looking at them, like one of those young woman/old woman optical illusions.

You can find more of Thompson’s work on Instagram and Bluesky and can purchase prints here. (via @mims.bsky.social)
