BEAUTY: Illustration--Louie Zong

Louie Zong is a student at Tufts University in Boston but already has an impressive portfolio of work. His website "Drawing A Day" charts his efforts to create one new illustration every day for a year, and some absolutely charming work has come out of this project. He is clearly inspired by classic children's books and their illustrations.

He also cites early Hanna-Barbera cartoons as an influence and it is easy to see in "The Sun Also Rises," an animated short he recently finished, which can be seen on Vimeo here.
