Who: Ryan Meis and Sarah Labieniec
Location: San Francisco, CA
Website: Lab Partners

It’s rare and amazing to me when looking at an illustration that I think of as “colorful” to realize that it was made with a limited palette of just two or three colors. Looking through the portfolio of Lab Partners, it happens with each new piece! And if anyone tries to tell you that it is not possible to give digitally-drawn art a sense of character and life, I suggest you point them to this amazing accumulation of work that soundly defeats such notions. Bright and alive and, yes, colorful even with a limited color palette – LP is making distinctive, amazing art and illustration.

I’ve been a fan of Ryan and Sarah’s ever since I saw this great print (letterpress!) on another website. I hunted down more of their work, and I’ve been an enthusiastic fan ever since! And I can’t wait to see what they’re up to next!
