Illustration: Spaceships and superheroes in Paul Paetzel's spectacular new work

Date
16 May 2014

It’s only been a year since we last updated you on Paul Paetzel’s pictures and now, with mind-boggling speed, he’s churned out another set of amazing drawings. His new illustrations are as mad as ever and we can’t get enough of them: retro spaceships manned by masked superheroes zoom about in skies the colour of highlighters, and robots hang out in science fiction-infused bureaucratic rooms. It’s spectacular work, and has the magic ability to take you back in time to your childhood whilst simultaneously rocketing you straight into the cosmic future. Paul’s new work includes an adorable birthday card for his dad, illusory portraits, cat-themed comic covers, and illustrations for calendars. Who knows what fantastical things he’ll come up with next.
