Annu Kilpelainen

A look at Annu Kilpelainen's brightly coloured pictures is almost as good as a trip to the Caribbean.

Has today left you feeling a bit blue, making you want to hurl your broken umbrella to the pavement and jet off for sunnier climes? If so, don't despair! The work of Finnish born illustrator Annu Kilpelainen will inject a little brightness back into your life, with its tropical feel and vibrant hues. Graduating from the London College of Communication in 2010, Annu has carved for herself a niche of deliciously rich colour. If you're searching for something to distract you from the weather today - something bright and fun and summery to get you to pick up that umbrella and get on the bus home - then these blocks of pink, green and thick, thick yellow will be the thing to do it.
