One of my favourite artists is Blanca Gomez, a graphic designer and illustrator living and working in Madrid.

The London image is from his City Prints series which is a set of three images based on three fashionable cities, Paris, New York and London.

I am inspired by his ultra clean and simple style. His work has a wonderful nostalgic feel about it and his images could have come straight out of the picture books from my childhood. I am especially love his use of clever lines combined with blocks of colour and texture.

You can buy the City Print series from Pedlars.co.uk. To see more of Blanca's work go to cosasminimas.com.

His illustrations remind me of the the series of books titled This is... by Miroslav Sasek. The first book of the series was This is Paris and was published in 1958.
