Here’s the video of a TED talk by Bruce McCall, an illustrator from (notably) The New Yorker<\/em> and The National Lampoon<\/em>, in which he talks about his retro-futuristic work and humor. Near the beginning he describes how he arrived at his gouache style in terms that make that style sound like a limitation – while he also makes it pretty clear that the style is a kind of visual grammar that he uses, as you’ll see, to great effect. That stands out for me because the signature style is a double-edged sword that I know pretty well.<\/p>\n
