Maurice Vellekoop draws beautiful, colourful and flamboyant things. He could draw a rubbish bin and make it gorgeous. There’s sadly very little available work for you to buy – but his commercial work does pop up occasionally – like this fashion spread from National Post Style Quarterly. Thanks to Christopher Butcher at Comics212 we get to see these stunning designs that featured in “On the Runway: An Illustrated Fashion Editorial” in the Saturday September 12 edition of Weekend Post. The full set is at Comics212.
