Splendid Swimmer Cartoons

Anny Wong Illustrates Boys Ready for a Day at the Beach

— May 8, 2012 — Art & Design
If I told you Anny Wong illustrated a series of young boys as swimmers, you may not think the concept is unique enough to warrant a collection of images. Browse through this gallery however and you’ll quickly discover how wrong you were as Wong depicts beach-ready children in a myriad of inventive and playful ways.

Anny Wong renders each swimmer in a cutesy cartoonish style evocative of Japanese anime classics. The illustrations are drenched in sun-kissed hues and Wong’s canvases have a grainy paper texture to them, amplifying the endearing quality of her work. The boys themselves are also worth mentioning as they all have goggles and swim caps on, making them look stylish while also conveying their cautious nature.
