Gus Gordon

Gus Gordon's storytelling centers on characters, creating narratives that resonate with both children and adults. His illustrations are celebrated for their dynamic linework, mixed-media approach, and inherent humor, with collage being his signature technique. He masterfully incorporates vintage ephemera—from vintage engravings and postcards to old advertisements and maps—to enrich his vibrant creations. A distinctive element of his writing is its anthropomorphic nature, where animals stand in for humans, a style he attributes to his childhood admiration for classics.
