About

James Olstein is an illustrator and author specializing in creating digital art that retains an analogue look and feel. Filled with grainy textures and overlapping vibrant colors, his work has the curious quality of looking like it came from the past, even though it contains modern items and characters. Most of James’ work is in the fields of editorial, brand and book illustration.

James’ hobbies include drinking coffee, listening to records and getting messy from screen printing. He has never met a donut he didn’t like.
