Andrew Rae is an illustrator, art director and animator. He has done a lot of big works including working as an Art Director for the show Monkey Dust on BBC 3, illustrating the identity for The V Festival and helping to judge Illustration for D&AD 2006. His short film the Stunt was screened on Channel 4 in 2007. He's part of the illustrator collective Peepshow and Black Convoy.
He mixes loose hand drawn figures in surreal like positions, or situations that give of a playful yet macabre feeling. Often you'll find the body-parts of two different species spliced together to create a new and wonderful being.
What I love about his website is it is so uniquely him. You know exactly what style of artwork you are dealing with when you enter this sight. Its very simple, and quirky and has those amazing little animations at the top of the screen, that wiggle and wink at you seductively. I would question its ease to navigate, finding it hard to go through the images and annoying to constantly scroll down, but who cares when it so seductively entices you to look through them with its quirky control panel. Rae is an established illustrator so its nice to see something so personal as his website! You can order his works off Concrete Hermit, I would definitely suggest a look at his book Perverted Science, its a lot of fun.
