Brent Wilson is an illustrator whose art is characterised by a playful mid-century aesthetic. With its bold colours, loose lines and jaunty characters, his work inspires nostalgia for the children's books and advertising campaigns of the 1950s and 60s. His illustrations regularly appear in major national publications and, recently, Brent illustrated the children's book Koalas Like To... by Shae Millward, which was shortlisted for the 2021 Australian Book Design Awards.
