Sergio’s been on It’s Nice That a few times recently, but what are we meant to do when he just keeps on producing such brilliant illustration? His style, a beautiful car crash of retro and contemporary aesthetics, is becoming rightly recognised by all the right people, particularly those in the music business. Check out his concert posters for very cool, notoriously fun bands such as Dent May and The U.S Girls – Sergio is totally flying the flag nay resurrecting the love of the classic gig poster, which, at one stage, looked like it was about to die. Spend a little time on Sergio’s website, he’s done a heck of a lot of great work, and he’s got a massive pencil.

An illustration for a music event featuring a stylised figure with long brown hair and a white dress. The dress is shaped like a torso and features the US flag across the skirt. Text in the centre reads “U.S. Girls with live band”, “Slim Twig” and “Zacht Automaat”. Details at the bottom list the date as 5 December at The Lexington in London.
