Clean lines and surreal breastfeeding with illustrator Lennard Kok

Date
27 July 2015

Lennard Kok is a man in possession of not only a talent for surreal, monochrome one-liners, but a wonderfully post-punk hairdo, if his site is to be believed. Using clean lines and a stark black and white palette, he creates images that manage to tell a story in witty, crisp little narratives. “In my work I often try to depict a story as simply as possible,” he says. What really intrigued us though was the story being told by a woman/dog breastfeeding a puppy. When he’s not dabbling in these Svankmajer-esque oddities, Lennard can be found creating editorial illustrations for the likes of De Dak Haas magazine or putting his work centre stage on some rather snazzy water bottles.
