Computer Arts 171 - The design secrets issue

Josh Cochran

Josh Cochran is a New York illustrator. By reading this article i have found out that he has been gradually building his illustration career with a style that combines the flair of a comic book artist, hand drawn detail and colour combinations created in Photoshop. I have also found out that his style of illustration is 'drawing and printmaking mashed together' and that comic books have influenced his work such as 'The Adventures of Tintin' and the 'The Adventures of Asterix'. I like some of the work displayed in this magazine, such as 'Mountain Dew Commercial' which were put into motion by the animators at production company Buck. I think the bright colours used makes each image stand out. Cochran said ' The process was a learning experience for me and it was really great to see my drawings expanded to different types of media'. I also like 'Inside Path' which is a tiger and is one of Cochran's personal works. He used pieces of paper found in old books which gives the final piece of work a good effect.
