Marvellous monochrome drawings from Miguel Angel Valdivia

Date
18 April 2016

Using heavy black backgrounds and considered line-work, Miguel Angel Valdivia’s work is smart in its execution and brave in its layouts. Within a single image Miguel often uses multiple frames, which come together to create a disorientating but clear narrative. As well as working as an illustrator, Mexico-born Miguel is also a visiting lecturer at the Royal College of Art. When he’s not dong either of those things, he’s at the helm of beautiful drawing zine Le Petit Neant, which is soon to launch its third issue.
