A Simple Approach to Colorful Cutouts with @giopastori

To see more of Gio’s cutouts, follow @giopastori on Instagram.

The illustrator Gio Pastori’s (@giopastori) approach to creating his playful cutout illustrations is simple. “I usually use no more than two to three colors,” he says. “I sketch my ideas before, then I draw the subjects with a blade on colored paper with no guidelines, to keep it fresh. Then I put it all together.” For Gio, who lives in Milan, Italy, the fashion world often influences his colorful work — from a Moschino sandal to a Valentino print. “The fashion world’s rapid change and depth is something I find exciting and inspiring.”

Gio, who only recently finished his university studies in illustration, wants to continue his work surrounded by inspiration. “My dream is a good-quality studio shared with good friends in a nice place doing beautiful things.”
