Illustrator : Jasper Goodall (UK)

British Illustrator Jasper Goodall is one of the most distinctive, influential and respected illustrators of today. His style has been emulated so much that it has become a veritable school of illustration in itself. But Goodall was the pioneer, presenting a fusion of symbolic eroticism and contemporary pop culture imagery. His work is bold, slick, sexual and highly stylized, rhythmically beautiful and stunningly provocative in equal measures. Goodall’s distinctive style and technical prowess have led him to contribute to some of the most style defining commercial commissions of recent years, including work for: Gucci, Nike, Adidas to name but a few. Editorially he’s worked for such titles as: The Face, Arena, Elle, Big, Eye, Deliciae Vitae, Scene, Dazed and Confused and Icon amongst many others world wide.

A lovely songs by MJ. The gone of him let me think of something about life and I realize life is really short...not realize actually, life is short as everyone know.
