The Amazing Simplicity of Hood Finch’s Illustrations ✏️ David Finch ( @hoodfinch ) is a Visual Artist and Filmmaker based in Los Angeles. He devoted himself to humor as a way to cope to the new reality that the Pandemic presented us. One of the most captivating elements of Finch's artistry lies in his ability to encapsulate simple a message within frames of utmost simplicity. With the flick of his pen, he turns ordinary and absurd moments into a canvas that invokes an intuitive reaction, whether it be shock, laughter, contemplation, or a sense of ‘I’ve been through that that before’. Finch’s addresses absurdities of human thought that cross people’s minds, social critiques, and commentaries on the nuances, and often bizarre behaviour humans display in daily life, relationships, culture, and history. Other times it’s just dark humor. A large collection of his works can be found in his "Coffee Table Book”. The name just follows the literalness and satirical tone of his drawings. Finch invites us to find the hilarious in the absurd and the ridiculous of our nature, revealing aspects about how we act and see the world, for the better and for the worse. One little frame at a time we see the world through the world of David Finch’s amazing illustrations. @oxygn__
