Big commissions and a more confident style in Sarah Mazzetti's updates
It’s always a joy to hear from Bologna-based illustrator Sarah Mazzettti who has been a firm favourite of ours since we first stumbled across her gig posters back in 2012. The Italian image-maker seems to have settled on a more confident style in recent months and big-name commissions from the likes of Vice, The New York Times and MIT Technology have duly followed. But that unpredictable playful sensibility we so loved has not been entirely banished, as evidenced by her huge yellow giant holding up a room for the TICTIG exhibition at Casa Testori in Milan.
Sarah’s also started a Tumblr on which she’ll be posting work-in-progress imagery and otherwise unpublished work, so it’s worth keeping an eye on that too if you’re a fan (as you should be!).
