Beautiful Studio Ghibli Tribute Illustrations By Yaphleen

Yaphleen, who also goes by the name of Yaya has been hard at work on a series of beautiful illustrations paying tribute to the works of Studio Ghibli, and they are pretty stunning. Executed in a handful of different styles, ranging from painterly renderings to more graphic takes inspired by the likes of Alphonse Mucha, each of her pieces offer a distinct interpretation of the spirit of each film.

While the folks at Studio Ghibli have gone back to simpler, more understated stories as of late with movies like Up On Poppy Hill and Arrietty, Yaphleen has stuck to her favorite epics, including memorable features like Princess Mononoke (My personal favorite), Castle In The Sky, Spirited Away and Nausicaa, which you can enjoy after the break. While you're at it, don't forget to check out the preview for Studio Ghibli's first teaser for The Wind Rises.
