New work on New York from awesome illustrator Josh Cochran

Date
13 November 2014

Josh Cochran is one of those illustrators who, even though he’s been around for ages, still manages to keep his work endlessly fresh. His fantastically atmospheric, often surreal illustrations, keep going from strength to strength, building in textural complexity and narrative devices. Perhaps that’s the result of his nomadic lifestyle moving between Taiwan, Los Angeles and New York. Or perhaps he’s just got an endlessly inventive mind and creative spirit. Either way, he’s a talented dude.

What’s most excited me about Josh in 2014 is the arrival of his very first children’s title, Inside Out: New York, a captivating concertina book that brings the American city to life in incredible graphic detail. Tied together by the presence of a few key characters, it weaves simple storylines through the massive Metropolis. Sure it’s supposed to be for kids, but I’ll be picking one up for myself.
