One of the most vivid memories of everyone's childhood - vivid (I apologize for the tautology) drawings without much sense, just to stick more flowers, and that was their charm. Simon Wild remembers this very well and projects it on his projects related to illustrations and not only. It turns out the brightest jumble of monsters, squiggles, even colored coffins, which was appreciated by many famous brands like Nike.
As soon as they did not name the work of this wonderful illustrator. “Psychedelic scribbles”, “meaningless squiggles with meaning”, “children's ways of self-expression” are just a few of the interpretations. In his brightest drawings, you can see everything - and strange otherworldly creatures, and some words, and crazy buses, and the already mentioned funny colored coffins.
This Cambridge graduate uses his ideas both for illustrations and covers of various magazines, and for drawings on clothes and shoes - in particular, his client is Nike. In some ways, his work is reminiscent of Ryan McGuinness's diverse work, which was based on a huge amount of detail in paintings and sculptures. But Simon has fewer details, but brighter and more psychedelic.
Simon graduated from Cambridge in 2007. Before becoming an illustrator, he worked as a filmmaker, animator, video editor, even a street performer. And only then did Simon Wild find his calling in these wonderful children's bright doodles … Simon is inspired by toys and travel. Childhood is generally the key word for understanding his work. It is not for nothing that the artist himself says that, creating each new illustration, he creates a new friend. Just like we drew superheroes in childhood.
