October Afternoon - Retro design & illustration - One of the things I enjoy the most about my current job is the retro-cool style we create for our various product lines. I love resurrecting and rejiggering classic design styles, and it's a fun challenge to mimic them and re-stage them for a modern audience. All artwork © October Afternoon.
