Illustrator Andrew Archer has a rather specific look going on. His lines live within one another, swooping and dipping next to and on top of one another, like liquid moving with such fluid motion, yet like oil and water they must never mix! The colors are mute, the eyes are deadly serious. He’s a master at the age of 24, which, when you live in New Zealand, makes sense because what else are you going to do, go fishing? There is always the danger of being lost in perfect weather and sunshine freeness. But that’s not what Archer did! He’s right here ready to go, and he’s up onit!

EDIT: NOTE also his placement of some rather-sharply shaped 3D letters and numbers in several of these illustrations. That rocks. Often illustration-heavy designers will either fall back on or just exclusively use typography added in post. It’s a completely amazing skill to be able to draw those characters in there in such a perfect way. Truly

Here’s a couple words from Archer on his birth and living place, New Zealand:

I’ll admit, it’s been a hard time becoming a full time illustrator on a tiny island at the bottom of the world but since NZ is actually ahead of nearly everyone in the world timezones, i have used this to my advantage to read the future and beat deadlines like no-other.

Indeed! And you know what that means – he’s for hire! That’s right, you can commission the fantastical works of this superman of inks, and I bet he’d be happy to help you! Contact Archer at andrew@andrewarcher.com or on Skype [andrewcalme]. Be sure to check his http://andrewarcher.com/ portfolio for updates on work, too.

Now! Let’s take a look at some new and selected works. Below and above you’ll see works done by Archer mostly within the past year, but also spanning back to his “start” in illustration in 2006. I say “start” because everyone is an illustrator in some form or another, they’re just good or terrible, that’s all. Archer just happens to be very very amazing. Peep it out!

ALSO note that a few of the illustrations have information attached that’s pretty important to the image it’s connected to. If you’re going to spread the Archer love, it’d be awesome if you kept that info attached.

Thaaanks.
