Mike Perry is an artist living in Brooklyn, NY. He uses several different mediums.
“Making books, magazines, newspapers, clothing, drawings, paintings, illustrations and teaching whenever possible.”
His first book, which I own, is entitled Hand Job. It is a collection of type, along with several illustrations. Some of it is his own work, but most is compiled work by several artists.
Mike Perry was a huge influence to me last semester, and still is. His work is so inspiring to me for several reasons. It is easy to look at, it is usually used with flat color and it is so creative. He uses simple shapes to create type but then he creates it into a piece of art with his illustration. I also love how everything is hand drawn. I feel like a lot of people assume that everything we see on billboards and in magazines are computer generated. I suggest you take a look at some of Mike’s work! Its quite fab
