Check out this Romanian illustrator, Camelia Dobrin, over on her website. Really cool stuff and a pretty nice & simple website to boot. It’s a coincidence I’ve been seeing this type of retro Sgt. Peppery illustrative style a lot lately. I’ve been banging away at Beatles:Rockband lately and the style of the artwork in there is pretty...
