andrew degraff


- Andrew Degraff
- Although born in  Albany, he now resides in Brooklyn NY.
- His work has been shown in New York, San Francisco and Calgary.
- His clients include Merge Record, NY Press, GAP, Duke University, Visa and Leo Burnett.
- The range and diversity of this illustrator is huge, which I'm sure you can see by a couple of the examples of his work I have shown above. The subjects of his work cover everything from politics, to typography to art.
- In the numbers, the skill and the fact they are all so precise is what makes them so impressive. You really have to look at them to see the buildings he has created.
- The group of illustrations above that are just a few I found on his website. Some of my favourites are his collage illustrations, especially the airplane. And, I love the caricatures, as the faces are so interesting and highly skilled. I hate to say it but I think Degraff combines illustration and art with his work, something which is so difficult to do and do as well as he does.
- The last image is a painting he produced which I think is captivating. With the subtle colour use and composition, its almost a bit magical. What else can I say apart from I love him!
