Vintage-style modern illustrators

 Iv Orlov
 Only two colours have been used here with black and white. It's quite a complicated, busy illustration but comes across instantly retro from its style and use of colour. The colours are soft and clash somewhat.

I find, generally, 50's or 60's art isn't outlined (unless you consider cartoons such as the old Disney films). This illustration is purely colour, tone and shapes. The colours chosen are typically 50s - the turquoise background in particular.
These black line drawings look vintage in its style and also how the characters look. They're all sporting 50's style outfits and hairstyles. They remind me of the old retro comics.
