visual communication: artists who use character

MARCUS OAKLEY

I picked Marcus Oakley for his band prints! As someone who struggles with drawing representations of actual people I like how he is able to stylise them so much yet make them recognisable- also through certain non-facial features such as clothing and mannerisms (whilst all of the characters are quite static looking this is more than appropriate for Kraftwerk!) I love how these illustrations are so cartoonish and at times bizarre looking. They are very playful and it brings a silly sense of happiness.
