Reportage ( Artist Rob Conway )

Rob Conway is a illustrator who specialises in reportage, in his most famous pieces of work that he has created he has added a element of humour through over lapping pictures of real people and combining them with illustrations of people in the style of reportage. What I find most interesting about his work is how he uses inks and water colours in his illustrations and how he adds the colour to the images quickly without thinking and this helps add texture and depth to the image.

Here he has done a illustrations of a builder and he has then placed a head, hands and shoes onto the illustration. I think that this way of working with reportage is unique and stands out from the crowd.
What I like most about this illustration is how the body of the builder is so out of proportion it almost looks like a different creature, the way he has used the fading effect of over used inks to be used as lighting on the image works well and adds details to such a simple illustration.
