Discovering artist Mark Weaver’s work was one of those where-have-you-been-all-our-lives moments. We’re suckers for retro design in general, but Mark takes it to an entirely different level.
I think the reason retro design sometimes suffers from a bad rap is because it can so easily tip over into kitsch if it’s not done with enough sophistication. Great retro design is a very delicate balancing act because it marries an expressive, maximal design approach with a streamlined, ultimately minimalist aesthetic. That is one tough combination to pull off successfully.
Mark Weaver does it with enormous intelligence and style. Check out Mark’s website here.
