What is this style of illustration called? I'd also be interested in the artists name. A friend from Chicago sent this to me. It reminded me of posters from New Orleans that I'd seen for Mardi Gras, but googling that didn't really help illuminate anything. I believe in the picture it looks as if it's moulded plastic, I'm pretty sure it's not folded cloth.

    Your question is actually older than our guidelines, haha :) But it still needs to fit them. Would you mind also changing the title to something more descriptive? Another image of the style would also be useful

That's probably "art deco". Google it, there are tons of almost same illustrations floating on web

  • @DA01 This actually reminds me a bit of Patrick Nagel, who was definitely influenced by art deco (and some even classify his art style as such).
