Ernesto García Cabral (El Chango)

It's a rare week when you can find something completely new under your own sun. There's always the feeling when you discover the work of someone from the 20's that someone else will laugh at your discovery but I thought I'd share that this week I came across the work of a Mexican illustrator Ernesto García Cabral in the form of a book about his career. His line and figurework is amazing, his lighting too. Obvious comparisons to Mucha etc but from the book alone, something truly beautiful and original too. Above are bits found on the web about the book in question but over time I'll be sticking up other pieces from the book, dependant on being able to scan them.
