Ben Newman
A while back, Grain Edit pal Sanjay Patel enthusiastically showed us a comic titled Ouroboros by British illustrator Ben Newman. In addition, he also showed us an awesome vinyl toy based on the comic. I was completely smitten with what I saw, and have had a major illustrator-crush on Ben’s work since then. His style is fresh and unique with its fun characters, bright colors, fuzzy textures and complex layering of shapes, and this piece from a developing print series “Masks” is no exception.
To see more of Ben’s work, visit his website and be sure to stop by his shop and pick up some wonderful prints. In addition, his works are also available through No Brow press.

Also worth viewing…

Poor Jim! He is feeling a bit poorly. Maybe he should stop spinning around and around after he has eaten.

Pretty certain I read somewhere that Mr Newman does all his geometric images by hand too. Not a vector in sight! Now that’s some impressive french curve/pair of compasses handling for sure. Respect

I really like this retro/1950s artwork…it almost looks like 1930s Soviet styled artwork. Very nice color tones.
