Mr. Nelson

Wouter Tjeenk Willink, professionally known as Mr. Nelson, explores collage using digital and analog techniques complemented by hand-drawn typography. His illustrations employ playfully bold colors in memorable ways that juxtapose the inexact compositions and create uneasy abstractions. The work is fast and of-the-moment, challenging the idea of a perfect digital image.
