"A beguiling sense of humor underpins Chwast's illustration, and a keen understanding of traditional design governs his method. From posters to book covers to children's books and advertising design, Chwast has touched on virtually every facet of visual communications. Many 'new' graphics we see today are heavily influenced by Chwast's touch. He's been there, done that."
(Steven Heller, graphic-design.com)

Seymour Chwast was born in New York City and is a graduate of The Cooper Union, where he studied illustration and graphic design. He is a founding partner of the celebrated Push Pin Studios, whose distinct style has had a worldwide influence on contemporary visual communications. It would be difficult to imagine contemporary American and European graphic design and illustration without the presence of Seymour Chwast.
