The first book to detail the work of prolific illustrator and designer Javier Mariscal, Drawing Life includes a wide range of Mariscal?s works, from his first commissions to current works-in-progress. Designed, written and illustrated by Mariscal himself, this volume showcases the huge scope of clients and collaborators that he and his studio have worked with, as well as his more personal and creative work. Drawing Life recognizes Mariscal?s enormously enigmatic style and significant contribution to the spheres of illustration, graphic design, product design and interior design.
