Meet Tim Doyle, contemporary illustrator, print maker and king of ‘nerd cool’. Drawing inspiration from a life long love of comic books and video games, Doyle creates prints of inimitable style that incorporate cultural icons from the music industry to art house film into a graphic aesthetic like no other. ‘The Cook’ takes cult series Breaking Bad and creates a striking print, in the detailed, illustrative style of a graphic novel. The print depicts the desert land of New Mexico, stretching out to the mountains in a graduating palette of teal, burnt orange and dusty beige. The iconic caravan nestles in the centre, black plumes of smoke billowing from the top, while the cook’s gas mask lies abandoned in the foreground. It’s a powerful snapshot, filled with painstaking detail, for a compelling piece of contemporary print work.
