Angular Retro Portraits

Alexey Kurbatov's Illustrations are a Must-See

These Alexey Kurbatov illustrations are a must-see for anyone. The portraits have an old-school retro appeal, but rather than sticking with the black and white, Kurbatov adds a bit of colour that blends in nicely with the pictures. The lines on the faces of each person in the portrait also adds a nice subtle three dimensional look that really adds to the portraits.

Hopefully more Alexey Kurbatov illustrations will follow in the near future!
