Jan Siemen is a graphic designer from Cologne, Germany. The artist creates colorful, conceptual vector illustrations as a hobby for his graphic service company Sons of Ipanema. “I needed a little change so I created a few illustrations and found my own drawing style and just started posting them on Instagram,” he told It's Nice That.

Jan is inspired by cartoons, surrealism and tends to play with colors, textures, and shapes to create his conceptual, interest-grabbing, sometimes even punny drawing ideas. “I set up shapes and forms, colors, lights, and shades in Illustrator and add some texture and color adjustment in Photoshop,” Jan told about the creative process of his digital art.

Each of the cool drawings has different topics, but all of them share the same art style and feel. Take a look at some of his unique artworks below and vote for the best.

I'm so tired of every single artist painting/drawing/whatever-ing this exact same thing. We get it already - we have become obsessed with our phones. Got it.

    Fingers are not meant for running. We are so focused on our phones we are not using our selves efficiently...perhaps suggesting this smartphone era isn't sustainable?

    Wonderful; it reminds me of a sci-fi short story I had written for Social Studies long ago.... 1979, when I was bubbles in the ocean compared to the plankton I now am

    Well, if you can’t see the stage, some people look at their devices and use them as binoculars. But I still agree with you

    As a friend of mine, who is a self-proclaimed quantumist (as opposed to pessimist or optimist), would say, the carton is in four equal states. Half full of air, hall empty of liquid, half full of liquid, half empty of air or something to that effect.
