Andy Rementer style reference and prompts

The style combines flat geometric drawing, dark outlines and vivid blocks of turquoise, teal, coral, yellow and navy. Large forms are reduced to layered simple shapes, while concentric circles and repeated stripes create focal rhythm and surface pattern. Color remains even and matte, with warm accents set against cool expanses so the eye moves between them. Curves and angled edges weave through compact arrangements, and shifts in scale make the space feel shallow yet lively. Forms share a consistent simplified vocabulary with fine printed hatching and dotted textures rather than realistic modeled shading. Dark contours separate adjacent colors, while small open areas prevent dense patterns from merging. The result is graphic, playful and surreal, with its energy carried by shape, color contrast and the relation between large and small forms.

The image is a flat, hand-drawn fantasy townscape beneath an enormous turquoise fish, set against a dark blue-green sky with a small orange sun at the upper left. The fish fills most of the upper half and faces left, its broad body extending toward the right edge. A large concentric eye near the head forms a prominent circular focal point, with rings of yellow, orange, teal and dark blue nested around a black center. The fish’s body is built from layered geometric scales, fins and stripes in turquoise, mint, navy and pale cream, each shape bounded by dark outlines. Below it, a compact town rises along both sides of a winding blue-green waterway. Small houses cluster in uneven rows, their roofs forming triangles, steps and rounded caps; pale yellow, coral and mint walls alternate with narrow dark windows. The channel curves through the lower middle, widening toward the front and leading the eye beneath the fish. Stylized trees and upright plants punctuate gaps between the buildings, their foliage reduced to simple red, green and teal shapes. At the upper-left corner, a small orange sun with concentric circular marks hangs above the roofline, bright against the cool sky. The background remains graphic and shallow, with no realistic atmospheric distance; overlapping forms and changes in size create the compact depth. Even, unmodeled color fills preserve a printed, cut-paper quality, while slight variations in contour keep the geometry from feeling mechanical. The lighting is symbolic rather than naturalistic: the sun adds a warm accent, but the fish, houses and water remain evenly colored without cast shadows. An arched bridge crosses the channel on the left, while stairs and block-like buildings rise on the right. A small pale sailing boat with a thin mast and dark red hull rests on the lower-left water. Fine hatching, dotted patterns and horizontal water marks add a printed texture within the flat shapes. The composition sets the fish’s large curved mass above the small town, and the bending waterway links the two scales. Its playful, surreal mood comes from this deliberate mismatch of monumental animal and miniature settlement, unified by crisp shapes and a vivid cool palette.
