olaf hajek

I was looking through a book catalogue at work today and saw this monograph by Olaf Hajek, who's like this super-famous, award-winning illustrator I've never heard of...

I'm so on the edge, it hurts.

After a quick scramble on the 'net, I've picked out a few of my favourites. I'm not sure I like all of his stuff - there are a lot of dead things that I'm not happy about - but his colours are glorious.

Gestalten, the publishers of his book, have also released a selection of art editions, but they're expensive. I found a cheaper and bigger print at magMA, although there's only one to choose from. Which is, of course, not really a choice at all.
