Illustration: Ana Albero’s spectacular work with hints of Twin Peaks, Salinger and Jean Seberg

It’s almost as if Ana Albero has reached into my brain as a teenager, plucked out all of my favourite things, and then transformed them into the most spectacular illustrations, filled with chubby cheeked renderings reminiscent of the Power Puff Girls. Included in her remarkable assortment of work are portraits of the stripy-dressed, cropped-haired Jean Seberg in Breathless, a Twin Peaks comic strip, a “popfeminist” with a Le Tigre tee, and scenes from J.D Salinger. The pictures could not be any more perfect, and it’s difficult to contain the excitement when you’re scrolling through her online portfolio.

Ana is part of a magical, Berlin-based collective of three, together with Paul Paetzel (who we wrote a little update about last week), and the equally intriguing Till Hafenbrak. Together they put out the brilliant Biografiktion, which you can read all about here. Don’t miss Ana’s drawing of the collective, a kind of weird family portrait where they’re all wearing striking matching shirts. Her work is wonderful and incredibly endearing.
