Alternative Aesthetics – known to some as Colin Kersley – is an illustrator based in Cardiff, UK. With his mastery of monochrome, Colin creates bold linear work with a bite to its personality and a twist of humour for good measure. Over the years, Colin has let his mind wander and spill out through a combination of expressive lettering, darkly adorable characters, and a taste for the weird but wonderful. Having created illustrations for advertising campaigns, publishing, editorial, products, and murals, Colin has worked with clients of all sizes across the globe.
