Justin Mezzell's brilliant illustrations make us want to dive back in time

Date

If someone were to illustrate my life – and yes, someone may ask one day – then I’d want it to be done by Justin Mezzell who’s made me swoon with his nifty (but cool) illustrations. Creating numerous posters, infographics, and an array of editorial work his portfolio is a brilliant example of getting things right. The retro feel combined with grainy textures and warm colours come together in a melting pot of creative cheese fondue that I just want to dip my tiny fork into. Forget the celery and chunks of mystery meat I just want illustrative gruyère!
