Today is the longest day of the year, so it seems fitting share the work of Angela Mckay, aka ohkii studio. Based in Brooklyn but hailing from Australia and Thailand, her gouache and watercolor paintings feature sunny scenes of swimming and trekking through lush tropical gardens. If you’re stuck inside all day (as I am), each of these summer illustrations will offer a momentary reprieve from the computer screen.
Angela sells her work as large prints and on gorgeous silk scarves. Although everything is digitally printed, she creates the designs as paintings first and then transfers them onto the scarves—giving them a handcrafted feel. The scarves are now available in her online shop, and you can see her work in progress through Instagram.
