I find these drawings by Mike Lay to be an interesting example of lifestyle illustration. They are conscious of trends and fashion, expressive at the same time, encompassing a certain feeling from drawing to drawing.
The use of bright, electric accent colors highlights a hyperactive, high energy, yet deteriorating lifestyle. The subjects of Mike’s drawings seem worn out but not interested in giving up what they have. This is especially apparent in the eyes – blank stares like they are possessed.
