I'm not sure what it is about this style of drawing ( which does look great ), but when I see it, it feels too "corporate" or too "marketing" oriented and I don't really relate to it. It tends to trigger my "bullshit" detector. Probably because it's far too abused.

The style is sometimes called 'Alegria art' or 'Corporate Memphis' [1] and is explicitly aimed at being inclusive. But megacorps have overused and it's cliche, garish and bland now.

I’ve long been wondering: I have a need for probably 3-6 custom vectors every 3-6 months. I want them to be consistent in style, colour etc. how can I go about finding an artist to do this for me? I’m happy to pay for quality, or use open source work if I find a good set, but currently I don’t know where to start

I do illustrations, you can see my works at: https://ekfos.artstation.com/ . If you like them, get in touch. Mods: not sure if such a post is welcome here; delete if you think it doesn't fit. There was not email attached to hsbauauvhabzb so I couldn't email him.
