Ian Stevenson

Is an illustrator with an attitude.

His medium is his pen, and his canvas is the world. Whether it be a lampost, a bin or a wall, he draws on it if he feels there can be a humorous message conveyed through this mean.

I am not an illustrator myself, and do not aspire to be, however I do think what he is doing is very graphic. His work is of from a designers point of view, its so simple its genius. He literally creates a message out of things we see everyday, literally by giving it an additional meaning through a scribble with his marker pens.

The choice of slightly desaturated colours, bringing out the black gives them a darker feel, of something serious. Alot of contemporary photographers seem to be playing around with this technique. A bit like the current anti smoking poster campaigns, one in particular of the man with the tight chest with an imprint of his belt around his torso, mimicing a heart attack from heart disease. Anyway, here's an example...
