R. Fresson creates illustrations that nod to the past. She hand-draws in pen and ink, then colors digitally, inspired by the print processes of early 20th-century comics and magazines. Her line-work is lodged in the ligne-claire style, made famous by Herge, Joost Swarte, Bob de Moor, and Theo van den Boogaard, among many others. Humour is an important aspect of R. Fresson’s work, and she continues to develop a witty practice with a dextrous vintage aesthetic, working with clients including the New York Times, Monocle, The Guardian, GQ, and The New Yorker.
