Jon C. Lund

While his illustrations are created in Illustrator, the work of Jon C. Lund nonetheless seems organic and reminiscent of vintage WPA Poster Art (thanks, Joan!)

    Awesome, I love the simplicity but still strong identity of those illustrations.

    I suspect that the paths are drawn drawn in Illustrator and then duplicated in Photoshop and then overlaid, given some treatment and then partly deleted so that the contours are sharp and crisp in some places but have the ‘grain’ in others.
    I would be very interested though, to find out how this is actually done – I hope I’m wrong and its all done in Illustrator as that would be much neater and cleaner.
