Imagine being able to connect two different eras through one visual medium. That’s what makes the work of British illustrator John Holcroft so special. Drawing inspiration from 1950s screen print posters, he creates retro style illustrations that depict what’s wrong with the world today.
Holcraft’s quirky, satirical works of art cover contemporary issues like society’s dependence on technology, devaluation of workforce, obesity, politics and more. His past clients include Guardian, Telegraph, Economist, Independent and Reader’s Digest to name a few. Check out 32 of his best works below.

“Satire is fascinating stuff. It’s deadly serious, and when politics begin to break down, there is a drift towards satire, because it’s the only thing that makes any sense” – Ben Nicholsan.
