Jonas Bergstrand. Modern Day, Retro Illustrator
January 13, 2011
Jonas Bergstrand was definitely born in the wrong era. His illustrations are a beautiful homage
to the work of the 1950s and 1960s. He says ” I think illustration is much more than just decoration.
A good illustration/illustrator provides illumination. And this doesn’t happen by chance—
it’s not a byproduct to style. Illustration may not be a science but it certainly communicates in a
precise way. He creates the initial drawing in Illustrator and then ‘fills in’ the detail using Photoshop.
What amazing stylish work and all from a guy who’s not even 40!
… absolutely no envy factor happening here at all !! Lol
Also there’s a great interview with Jonas by Layers Magazine, available here.

I like his work, has a great retro look to it. Good design is always good design.
