I've recently been looking at the work of Mike Perry, an illustrator based in New York. He's done commercial work foR lots of big time companies such as Nike, Adidas, Bench and schuh, as well as Grafik magazine and less large scale commissioned work. I love his work because of the fresh feel it has to it. It's quite controlled sometimes yet exciting and vibrant. It's wacky yet understandable and legible.
I e-mailed Mike (30/9/09) to ask him if I may pop in to visit him with my work when I go to New York in November and to my surprise within one day he said yes! I was amazed as well as excited. I sent him some of my work to. I find him to be a big inspiration and would love to apply his style to my practice.
