Really refreshing illustration work from Kilian Eng. I’m really getting an Avant Garde Magazine / 70’s-80’s illustration vibe from all this. Love the use of texture, it all feels so authentic.
More of Eng’s work and inspiration can be found at His Tumblr. (thanks Francisco)

I’ve been following Eng’s work for a while, I love it. His art evokes such a specific feeling, part nostalgia, part ethereal and mysterious. Would be awesome to see you and him collaborate on something.

Great show in Brooklyn this past weekend btw. I hope you come back soon!
So legit.
LOVE. I’m a sucker for air brush work. Or work that looks airbrushed. Skillz.
That one with the guy in the red jumpsuit and mask walking across the bridge with spikes all around, it looks like slipknot…
While I appreciate the style of the artwork…I’m bugging on the soundtrack. Who is that?
…ok…wasn’t paying attention:
Philippe Besombes & Gaston Borreani
…early 80’s library music heads? Dope.
I’ve been loving this guy’s work ever since I saw the cover art he did for the Tesla Boy EP (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FmrN8EY0CFU/Sf8DhytWESI/AAAAAAAAAFs/MufiNY0gleQ/s320/tesla-boy.jpg). Just brilliant.
Yes! I as well have been loving this guy for a while too. Including that Tesla Boy cover that Carlos mentioned.
I’m glad to see him getting some love. He touches on a sense of that era and nostalgia that I haven’t seen accomplished so well, maybe since its actual hay day.
good stuff!
I can appreciate the technical prowess of the artist, but I really don’t understand how this work seems “refreshing”. To me, it seems dark and maybe even a little depressing. Reminds me of an apocalyptic movie out of the early 80’s. Maybe I just had a bad experience with a transformer when I was a kid, but I don’t really appreciate this art as much as you guys do. Don’t bite my head off for it.
So sick

Great surrealism. I checked out his portfolio on Behance and find it full of fantastic stories and worlds. Patrick wrote that its depressing and dark, some of it may be(is that a bad thing?) but for me its so much more than that.
I was mainly suggesting that “refreshing” wasn’t a good way to describe the artwork from my perspective. Surely Scott has his own perspective and I can appreciate that, I just don’t personally see it that way. to me it is the quite the opposite of refreshing. Interesting, yes. Refreshing and something I would like to see more of? No, not really.
What a find, amazing imagination and colors!
love the colours! great work!
