Record artwork for London duo Punks Jump Up (Kitsuné Record)
The portfolio of London-based graphic artist and illustrator Michael Willis left us in awe. On his website called Otherscenes, a stunning collection of psychedelic graphics, airbrush art, typography and collaborative projects is presented. The 23-year-old artist mainly focuses on editorial, music and fashion related projects, which all seem to circle around popular culture. Next to the copious amount of work he creates, Willis also co-founded the independent platform for graphic arts and illustration called Panther Club, which you can view here.
Illustration for Chicago based fashion magazine Qlix, based on the theme ‘Fantasy’.
Future Venus is a expanded and reinterpreted custom font based on the iconic type treatment for Wings 1975 release ‘Venus and Mars’.
An illustration for No.Zine, based on the occult.
A collaborative project with illustrator Lindsey Gooden called ‘The Fantastic Voyage’.
