Josh Cochran

Josh Cochran is an American Illustrator. His work is always very colourful and often communicates quite complex ideas in single frames, even thought these frames may not be simplistic. The piece below is obviously trying to get across the hectic lifestyles of people living in large cities, and the problems they face everyday, including traffic jams and congestion. I feel this 'hectic' feeling is communicated more successfully by the random injections of colour and the differentiation in the scale of objects when compared to others. For example the man in the rickshaw is so much larger than the people walking around it.
This is another piece of his that I liked. Most probably because of the interesting way in which he compares surgery to the mechanics of engineering.
