Retro and nostalgia according to Jimmy Simpson

-
Anna Frattini

Brooklyn-based artist Jimmy Simpson seems to have an innate talent for illustration. His fluid, lightweight lines define simple, immediate forms, brought to life by flat yet carefully balanced color palettes that give his works an instant visual impact. With a playful approach, Jimmy constructs scenes through gently flowing lines, creating perspectives or intertwining them in abstract compositions.

His portfolio stands out as one of the most cohesive in the contemporary illustration scene, and his versatility has enabled him to collaborate with clients like LA Times, Nike, Spotify, and the Philadelphia Art Museum. The latter project, in particular, served as a creative tribute to his hometown, showcasing his talent to the fullest.

Jimmy’s style blends surreal elements with a strong nod to 1990s nostalgia, drawing influences from art and design history. Among his inspirations, he cites the legendary Push Pin Studios and American artist John Alcorn, solidifying a unique and recognizable visual identity.
