Leon Karrsen
The artwork of Leon Karssen is honestly just really weird , and if he actually gives a fuck he is doing a really good job of not letting anybody know. His work is fantastic in my eyes, and a humorous but accurate fit for my generation. His simplistic compositions and characters make his work "catchy". Something about his work is seemingly nostalgic, I think it lies in his color palette choices. Bright neons and basic shapes, throw in some super tacky sparkles and some handwritten fonts. I don't know, something about it triggers a feeling of my childhood. Karssen's work is far from kid appropriate however, making it even funnier. As teenagers/ college students we are stuck between being a kid and an adult, we also crass, fed up, self-oriented, and overall crazy. I think Karssen's work also fits that description and thats why he is so popular on the internet today.
