Vividly Retro Illustrations

Sanda Mander's Drawings are a Blast from the Past

— May 28, 2014 — Art & Design
Agent Pekka's Sanna Mander draws her inspiration from days gone by. Her illustrations pay homage to pop cultural relics like Edward Scissorhands, the Flinstones and I Dream of Jeannie. In fact, her work can serve almost as a pop cultural education for those who aren't up to speed with important works of art from the past.

If you enjoy a retro look and feel, you'll love Mander's drawings. Each one features easily discernible aesthetic cues from the 50s and 60s, whether it be pronounced wood grains, vintage cars or the cat eye liner.

Overall, Mander's illustrations will inspire that familiar, gooey feeling of nostalgia, while simultaneously staying contemporary and fresh. Any one of her drawings would make an excellent piece of throwback art for the home.
