Andrew Lyons is an illustrator based in Normandy, France where he discovered a love for bandes dessinées with their clear line styles, but his individual method developed when he took a break from the exhausting process of trying to work a style towards the abstract/minimal and figurative methods. “One day I tried drawing without giving it too much thought and it all just came together,” he says and Andrew’s client list – which includes Wired, Creative Review and many more – seem to agree as they clamour for his jazz-age infused illustrations.
