Posted on by Pier.

Illustrazione di Michael Waraksa

Brilliant or crazy? This is the first question that formed in my mind looking at the work of Michael Waraksa. He is  listed in the United States, even boasts illustration for Time. Is from Chicago and his graphic work takes all the genius possible. Michael tries to impress out of the box and do it with class. The inspiration for the 60s and 70s makes his illustrations vintage avant-garde. Looking at a picture the first thing that will jump to the eye will be that particular tune but perfectly bonded to each image that make it perfect. It will not be difficult to see hands instead of the heads of the characters, or roosters with the body of a seahorse. I love this style. Bravo.
