ARTIST WEBSITE
SPACE COLLECTIVE
Found these guys: they are semi-full-on designers - where we are all called terrestrials! but have a fleeting look there may be some drawing inspiration?

DRAWING IDEAS
thought this was interesting - 1950's prints - but the layers and clarity of the images architecturally are very clear - in particular the artichoke!! - inspiration for design and communicating ideas can indeed come from many places!
