Scott Teplin is one of my favorite artists. He has managed to create a style all his own that combines a whimsical child with markers quality with a great sense of balance and classic design philosophy. As a former graphic designer I have always hated how what I consider to be a good graphic work has to be somehow in competition in artistic expression. Teplin (in this specific series, his other works as much more expressive) shows that these elements can be brought into balance. In some ways, his work here seems to be a comment on design in many of its forms (ergonomics, architecture, interior).
