To understand what I wanted the artstyle to be, I researched different artists and found elements that I liked to inspire my art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Josh Agle (aka Shag)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also known as Shag, his style is characterized by a simple yet vivid colour palette and an emphasis on shape. He takes his inspiration from stylized commercial advertising from the mid 50s to mid 60s as a lot of advertising from that time period had a sort of \u201ccubist-cartoonish\u201d look. For example, Agle\u2019s Animal\u00a0Kingdom Exhibition\u00a02012<\/em> was created after\u00a0seeing a sheet of vintage\u00a01950s \u2018Pinup girl\u2019 decals. I really liked the monochrome colour palette of his work as well as the complementary colours. The lack of lineart\/flat background makes the characters and foreground stand out which I thought was reminiscent of a lot of children\u2019s cartoons. Agle\u2019s inspiration being ads from the 50s would also help inform me of the environments and set dressing from that era.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Joshua David Mckenney (aka Pidgin)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

His work is characterised by emphasised shapes, interesting silhouettes, and dynamic poses.\u00a0He manages to exaggerate and modernise the styles but also keep them on theme. The colour palette for a single figure is usually restricted to no more than four colours and coincides with the rest of the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason Brooks <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c…At age 6, where he became enthralled by Renaissance painting and sculpture.  As a boy he was an avid collector of DC comics and Tintin Books, immersing himself in their cover art and visual language…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooks’ signature fashion illustration style comes from his background in travel, fashion, and cosmetics advertisement. The subject matter of his art is beautiful people, luxury, and style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
