Marcus Oakley has been one of my favourite illustrators, for quite some time and his new packaging for Grub pies is a great example as to how his illustrations can be applied to the more functional packaging design. Working for clients that reflect his interests in underground skate culture, and 1960s ephemera he has designed work for the likes of silas, howies, and human empire. His illustrations have predominantly adorned t shirts and printed clothing. Having exhibited fairly broadly and frequently across the UK he cites this as one of the main attributes of his success. I love how he integrates his interests into his illustrations, imbuing it with a real retro feel, particularly to his 'people' that frequent quite often in his work.
