Frank Viva is an art director, brand developer, and illustrator. After art school, Frank worked as an editorial illustrator and a junior graphic designer before opening his own studio. He opened Viva & Co. studio to focus on illustrations and writing. Viva’s bold, stylish, and retro-modern illustrations appear regularly in the New York Times and on the cover of the New Yorker. His first cover appeared in 2010 and he has been creating illustrations that touch on themes as diverse as Earth day, the Olympics, urban landscapes, and his love for hand-drawn typography. With simple, graphic drawings, and monochrome color schemes, Frank’s illustrations have an almost cartoonish look.
