Oliver Barrett is one of the greatest illustrators around today, and it’s a good bet that his name isn’t ringing any bells for you. Do you read Wired, or drink Pepsi, or shop Urban Outfitters or enjoy Marvel work? If you answered yes to any of those questions (that should just about cover everyone reading this), you’ve probably seen Barrett’s work. From band posters to portraits of Steve Jobs and Bill Murray to typography work for Cleveland State University, Barrett combines his unique illustration style (there are lots of lines) with cultural references that anyone would find interesting. It’s fun, it’s funky and it will look even better on your wall than it does on your computer screen.
