A studio born in paradise
Welcome! My name is Kristian Gallagher and I am the founder of Modern Tropical, a design and illustration studio. The studio was created from a life spent in graphic design, an affinity for the bright, bold motifs of midcentury modern imagery, and my endless thirst for exploring. The subjects of my artwork are inspired by my travels around the world.
Modern Tropical is currently based in Honolulu, a city perfectly suited to my artistic style. It’s filled with classic polynesian motifs and midcentury architecture, inspiring me every day. My work is available worldwide from my online store. To be notified of new releases, sign up for the insider’s email list.
