This is what your face..

Los Angeles-based illustrator Hannah Stouffer finds a great deal of comfort in imagery- it’s an admiration that is often times overwhelming. With an infatuation for icons that reflect historical eras, contrasts in subcultures and macabre elegance, her work is an opulent, intricate mixture of illustration and repetitive embellishment. Her densely-packed pieces consciously recall modern attractions and personal narrative, while she focuses on the outcomes that develop by merging classical imagery and current emotional and social states. Her work creates both literal and abstract compositions and luxurious contrast with a high regard for decoration.
