The labels Alec has designed incorporate the best elements in his work. Citing Fauvism as one of his influences, he plays with strong colour sets and lively figurative compositions. The characters in his illustrations are part of the stories he likes to tell, as are all the other little visual details that add to them.
I’m Alec, an illustrator based in London. I also sometimes make films and music. I draw stuff with a pencil and pen and I use the computer to add colours and edit stuff. At the moment, I’m working with a small brewery based in south London called Partizan Brewing and I do their label art.
I like ’50s poster art and art from the Fauvists. I like art with a narrative and I try and tell some stories in my illustrations.
