Matthew Hollister
Numbers sure are powerful, and it’s evident in this print by Seattle based illustrator Matthew Hollister. This print, created for the Chicago Art Department’s Power in Numbers show, stacks magic, bad luck, and high times in a fresh and direct style. Matthew’s portfolio is chock full of editorial illustrations employing an array of grainy textures and straightforward imagery, reminiscent of vintage Czech matchbook labels and folk art.

Wow, Matt’s work is sensational.
I especially love how the Vonnegut piece wields a quirky, idiosyncratic boldness that you don’t see as often in this digital age—in which the computer so readily makes perfect and symmetrical shapes.
