Chris Turnham

Los Angeles based illustrator Chris Turnham has spent his career working in feature and television animation and contributing to publications and children’s books. His retro, cartoon-eque screenprints of The City Of Angles captures the architectural spirit of neighborhoods such as Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Eagle Rock and Griffith Park. The Angelino in me loves this.

    Chris trunham is one of my favorite illustrators, he has a beautiful clean vintage style. By the way if you are interested, he worked on an ad/animation for Persol :http://www.thefoxisblack.com/2012/01/20/a-year-of-sun-with-mr-persol-video/

    Totally worth checking the animation projects he was part of!
    && thank you for shedding a light on him, he is extremely talented.

    Love the matte coloring of these. Also the flat dimensions give them a great collage feel. I feel like these could be vintage advertisements almost. Love the style
