"Lawrence Yang is a California designer currently working for AKQA who also does freelance web design and paintings. He has done freelance for a few well-known companies, such as QTip, Nike, McDonald's, Target, Axe, and Nike as well as portfolio sites for models.
His paintings are done in gouache, ink, and watercolors and are influenced by graffiti art and Chinese paintings. These paintings tend to incorporate bright colors and organic plants and animals or simplified figures. He utilizes color to portray emotion and atmosphere."

i love these paintings because theyre full of life and color. splatters and drips and streaks are definitely a part of my style and i love watching what yang does because his work gives me ideas for my own. it's zany and cerebral and enticing. some of his work gets repetitive, but there are always pieces that make you stop and go "oooh."
