Pastiche illustrations by Max Schindler

Pastiche illustrations by Max Schindler (Artist Partners Ltd, Editorial Commissions, illustrator)

 

Pastiche artist Max Schindler was  commissioned to produce a number of illustrations which were briefed and  based on the various legal scenarios depicted in law magazine  "Legal Business".

He was asked to  create  some  images which were lively and interesting  and  created in style to designers and artists of the bygone past, including Saul Bass.

Max is a very accomplished artist  in his own right but finds he can turn a hand to most image styles when asked  and is  therefore a very reliable  and talented pastiche artist on the books of Artist Partners.

Dettol

Pastiche illustrator Garry Walton produced a series of artworks for Dettol hand soap.  The brief, to create a trash bag, old shoe and toilet pan out of hand shadow puppets, in a medical journal style, was quite a challenge, but utilized Garry’s versatility as an artist perfectly.
