Illustrator Jason Ratliff delights in the mundane, as his Walking Shadow series turns every day drudgery into a secret world of color. Nothing exists but form and shadow, allowing for Ratliff’s use of mosaic silhouettes to take center stage. As Ratliff’s characters become vessels of light and color, they feel very much in line with the artist’s self-proclaimed penchant for “a light dose of whimsy.”

Prints of Ratliff’s work are available here, while increasing requests have pushed the illustrator into an attractive series of iPhone and iPad cases marked by his more popular prints.
