Illustration: Excellent new editorial illustration from Emiliano Ponzi

Date
4 November 2013

Emiliano Ponzi, the cheeky fella behind the Bukowski book covers that we covered back in January, is back with more editorial illustration to add to his roster. Creating images for magazines and newspapers from Italy to the U.S., Emiliano’s work sums up stories succinctly and with the heavy dose of satire that has come to be his signature, using symbolic landscapes and representative imagery to gently mock societal institutions. And all the while his mastery of graphic shapes and composition allows his work to stand alone as individual pieces too. Editorial illustration is not an easy beast to tame, but Emiliano has it sitting, begging and barking on cue.
