Phil Dunne

Since being about 16 I've always kept an eye out for Dunne's work. He's a brilliant illustrator from Dublin, who hails with an original and contemporary style that features heavily within branding. Over the year, Phil developed a style that encouraged the use of comic-book-esque story tell, fused together with amazingly complicated drawing skills. A repeated presence in his work tends to be the use of modern pop culture and ideas of fashion and image, as during the day Phil works as a window dresser this influence is always accessible, from viewing clothes in-store to keeping current on the fashion front.
This year, Phil took a new, refreshing change in how he works, by integrating the use of high quality photography, and layering these delicately with his intricate drawing, he's managed to fuse two worlds that work in a harmonious synchronisity.
Hopefully one day I can perfect a seamless portfolio of work much like Dunne's.
