Pascal Blanchet – masterful illustrations

April 17, 2008, 1:53 PM

Mr. Pascal Blanchet‘s illustrations left me speechless. Rarely have I seen such beautiful colours and expressive hand-made typography (at many times interacting with the illustration). Reminding of Chuck Jones and Les Goldman’s animations or american modernism, Pascal Blanchet’s style manages to seem perfect for book covers, record covers, advertising, social posters or even product packaging.

I love how this last one has a Van Gogh feel to it, from both his Potato Eaters and Room at Arles.

(thanks Gina for the tip)

An “American Da Vinci”, as they say it on the Viktor Schreckengost Fundation site. Insane watercolours. Check his sculptures and other works.
