Grainy Family Illustrations

These Illustrations by Ellen Weinstein Depict Modern Living

These grainy illustrations by New York-based illustrator Ellen Weinstein are compiled from various editorial commissions. What's engaging about them is the artist's distinctive grainy style and talent for making the images look almost like collages.

The subdued tones in the images almost give the illustrations a vintage quality. This collection features everything from a family saying grace, to a man sitting at a school desk, which has been turned into a rocking chair and a pair of office workers playing table tennis.

The talented illustrator hails from New York and is a former student of both the Pratt Institute and New York’s High School of Art and Design. Weinstein has been adorned with many accolades and awards throughout her creative career.
