Travel posters from Henry Rivers

If you still can’t decide what you want to put on your empty walls, and the Scandinavian wall art I talked about is not your thing, you might try these beautiful travel posters from illustrator Henry Rivers. The style of his work is so inspiring, calming and motivating to leave your home and hit the road. I mean, it could be a perfect solution for a guest room for a host, who doesn’t like to host and wants his guests to hit the road!

Henry Rivers

The British illustrator grew up on the Isle of Wight, an island south of England, and after spending time in London, he decided to move back to a quieter spot, this time the French countryside.

His signature style is graphical art in the form of illustrations of well-known places around the world.

Although he describes his art as minimalist, the road to a finished design is a long one. The creative process starts with 20 or so smaller sketches before he starts drawing in a larger format, in which more details are added.

Then separate sketches are drawn to get the right look e.g., materials of a building. After that, the last, digital stage is begun, in which, among other things, colours and textures are worked out and polished until he is satisfied.

Rivers’ plans for the future include continuing his “Travel Poster” series and creating more graphical illustrations that capture the essence of destinations around the world.

Fun fact, you can find these travel posters also in Desenio.
