40+ Inspiring Illustrations About Art, Workspaces, and Creative Life

“Creativity doesn’t wait for that perfect moment. It fashions its own perfect moments out of ordinary ones,” the artist Bruce Garrabrandt once said. Being people whose daily job is finding creative solutions, we couldn’t agree more. To visualize the idea and add a pinch of digital art to your day, we’ve prepared a new collection of illustrations by tubik artists Maryna Solomennykova,  Yaroslava Yatsuba, and Sima Shpin, this time devoted to different sides of art, creativity, and workspaces where design is done. Welcome to enjoy and get inspired!

Creative Workspace

No secret, workspaces have a great impact on productivity, creativity, focus, and inspiration. And that’s also the aspect of great diversity: some of us need a clean, minimalist environment, while others prefer a more inspiring mix of bits and kits, plants, or books. Inspired by the theme, the artist created a set of illustrations showing the diversity of creative workspaces.

Artists’ Universe

The more you dive into art, the deeper it feels like a sort of endless and impressive universe, with each artist presenting a particular star or even galaxy full of amazing discoveries. This illustration collection aims to open this universe a bit through powerful and inspiring artists representing different cultures, eras, and styles, all of whom have lit their own immortal stars.

Black and White Artworks About Design Studio Life

Here in Tubik, we know the ins and outs of different sides of the design process, the power of teamwork, and the importance of concentration. As well as the work-life balance issue, so much thought out by creative people. Here’s a collection of catchy and daring monochrome artworks devoted right to that topic.

Geometric Art of Design

Artists and designers know well that the world around is full of geometric diversity. This collection of digital artworks also touches that theme: the illustrations are spiced with geometric magic and reflect different aspects of the design process.

Curious Cat and Creative Process

This set of illustrations covers the various stages of the research and creation process. This series features a mascot uniting all episodes into a single line of visual storytelling: meet the curious and clever cat that goes from question to solution.

Mixing Styles

Collaboration on a creative project is never a simple thing, as sometimes it has to crush together different visions and approaches to get a wow result. This set of artworks is inspired by that theme and based on the creative illustration at the crossroads of different styles and dimensions.

All designers strive to experience that moment of zen when everything in their design is harmonic, balanced, and eye-pleasing. Even if that’s just a short second before the next round of polishing, perfecting, and upgrading. Catch that feeling with the illustration below.

Don’t forget to take creative breaks to avoid creative blocks – that’s the idea behind another illustration from the set.
