Plastic Bag in a Tree is Kim R. Foster: a British illustrator and designer living in Amsterdam.

My work is heavily inspired by the American comic book style of the ‘90s and Japanese woodblock prints, as well as classic Swiss design. As such, I like to work with black outlines, both by hand using ink or brush pens and digitally, drawing in Photoshop using a tablet and stylus. I also paint by hand in acrylics or in Photoshop.

I’ve previously worked alongside corporate clients, creating animations and illustrations to communicate specific concepts. I then took a hiatus of almost ten years before returning to illustration after rediscovering my love of comic book artwork.

When making any piece of work, I seek to feel what I’m making while I’m making. Whether it’s true or not, I think this gives a finished piece a specific resonance. I also have a habit of trying to seek out the comedy and absurdity in a subject - both have proved essential tools for me when it comes to surviving the general confusion involved in being human.
