Outdoor and Camping Illustrations
by James Olstein
As a lover of nature and avid camper I’m always excited to tackle an editorial project on the subject of the great outdoors. Here are a few select outdoor/camping illustrations that range from large editorial packages for the LA Times to a fun beer label for Tonewood brewing.
LA TIMES
Series of illustrations that created for the LA Times to accompany Jaclyn Cosgrove‘s article “How to score a great campsite near L.A. without booking ahead.” The series included a gigantic header image and three large illustrations for each type of camper.
Art Direction: Jim Cooke and Micah Fluellen
