Californian Illustrator Erin Althea knows that males in their 20s like their exercise as much as anyone else. Her series of hip male slackers doing chilled-out poses is hilarious.
Erin’s ‘Bro-ga’ illustration features the young men doing Yoga interpretations like ‘chair poses’ (which looks like the guy is just about to sit down) ‘down dog’ (lying on the ground) and ‘tree pose’ (stretching your leg by a tree, whilst smoking and drinking coffee).
These hilarious illustrations will have you chuckling at the thought of your most unmotivated male friends partaking in things like ‘baby cobra poses.’ Erin is a freelance illustrator based in Oakland, California where she works on commissions for a number of high-profile clients, such as Levi Strauss.
