It’s been a while since we last caught up with Los Angeles-based illustrator Ian Grandjean, and the shift in his work is striking. Known for his bold, evocative pieces, Ian’s recent illustrations have taken on a new level of depth, intricacy, and scenic beauty. Reflecting back on what’s changed, Ian can clearly identify the problems. “My pieces weren’t supported by a structure of foundational skills, which resulted in my style having a flatness,” he says.
