Retro and sci-fi illustrations for your inner geek
Check out these illustrations inspired by retro gaming, sci-fi classics and cult characters that your inner geek will love.
Sci-fi and fantasy movies have provided some of the best designs we've ever known - just take a look at our pick of the best designs in sci-fi movies! Here, we channel our inner geek even further by falling in love with the nerdy illustrations of James White.
Taking inspiration from films such as Star Wars and Ghostbusters; consoles such as Nintendo and Gameboy and characters such as R2D2 and Dredd, this is a sci-fi and fantasy design dream. We especially love James' paint-stroke style and strong colour scheme.
The one-man wrecking crew behind the Signalnoise Studio, James has already worked with big names such as Nike, MTV, Wired and Universal Music. It's nice to know that he still has time to indulge in a spot sci-fi illustration.
