roonee Travel illustration is a wonderful thing. Being able to enjoy gorgeous depictions of all your favourite locations, even when you’re not on the go, can bring back treasured memories and remind you of beautiful places. While image heavy social media platforms like Pinterest and Instagram are full of wonderful illustrations, it can sometimes be hard finding the travel specific pieces you’re dreaming of. Another problem that sometimes arises is that of plagiarism. While the internet is awash with pretty illustrations, sometimes it can be hard working out who originally created them, thanks to uncredited copying and reposting!
Here are some wonderful travel related illustrators who have created beautiful illustrations to remind you of all your favourite travel destinations.
Jo Grundy Art
Jo Grundy creates seasonal masterpieces that instantly transport you into the very depths of the British countryside, and in some cases, the wonderfully wild British coastline. Jo’s art often incorporates elements of wildlife and it’s been featured on the cover of magazines such as The Simple Things. Jo’s Etsy shop is stocked full of her artwork and there are plenty of options to choose from. You’ll also find some charming bundles on offer, like the set of four mini four seasons canvases!
