Illustration: Student Josh McKenna is making waves in Cornwall with his tropical work

Josh McKenna (jshmck to his mates) is in his final year studying illustration at Falmouth where he’s become “A passionate screen-printer, competent in Photoshop and Illustrator,” taking inspiration from the "tropical way of life.” What this means is that Josh’s work is awash with pastel-shaded images of busty women sunning themselves by modernist poolsides and gentlemen in panama hats conducting shady business in angular rooms. Alongside the rich visuals there’s also a growing understanding of editorial imagery in Josh’s portfolio, something we’re excited to see him develop in the future.
