a vintage, witch-inspired color palette



While searching for vintage-inspired Halloween art, I discovered a Budapest-based artist by the name of Gabriella Szendrey and fell head-over-heels for her illustrations. The precision, texture, and personality captured in each imaginative drawing makes me want to write a book just so she can illustrate it!

This week’s color palette features a retro mix of graphite, muted aqua, “goblin” green, and of course, pumpkin orange.
