Chris Turnham Illustration
Photo by Dan Cole.
Chris Turnham lives and works in Los Angeles. He has worked in both feature and television animation and has contributed illustrations to publications and children’s books.
Of course his style appeals very much to my eye and love of the mid century life.
This could be fresh out of a book from 50+ years ago…. fabulous.
Interesting to see some floral and botanical studies too.
Illustrations of intrepid explorers….
and places Chris has also explored.
But my absolute favourites are his his beautiful architectural pieces… was this the bridge used in the film Grease, I wonder ?
Many of these illustrations are commissions.
Or just plain jaw-droppingly wonderful ! Lol
I love Chris’s use of the sun in these sleepy suburban dwellings.
He has even covered the Eames House, below. Stunning work Chris.
I just wanted to add a quick update to this post. Chris has been busy working on two wonderful books which are right up my street.
National Monuments and National Parks of the USA.
Just look at these mouthwateringly retro illustrations.
You can even grab a print from Chris’s website here
Lovely work Chris, with a nod to the classic Miroslav Šašek too, get your copies today.
