A modern living room with light wood furniture and neutral decor. Centered above a mid-century sideboard is a framed digital artwork titled Victorian from Jordan Bankier’s 2025 British Collection. The green, brown, and white geometric design adds a crisp, contemporary touch to the warm, natural interior.
Seeing my Victorian piece framed in a clean, modern setting really highlights why I’ve been so drawn to digital work recently.😱

Digital artwork poster titled Victorian from the 2025 British Collection by Jordan Bankier. The design features a symmetrical geometric pattern in green, white, and dark brown, evoking Victorian tilework. The crisp lines and sharp edges highlight the precision achievable through digital art.
Exploring Victorian-inspired design posters through a digital lens. While I’ll always value the depth and texture of acrylic, right now my attention is on the digital world.
