Peepshow x Adrian Johnson for Unicef

I’m a big fan of illustrator Adrian Johnson and i always hunt through the newest issues of Monocle hoping he might have made some more illustrations for an article. My eyes are alway drawn to this sort of style and I’m not sure why.

I think it’s the overall simplicity.

This video below was produced by Peepshow collective, who asked Adrian to work on an animation for Unicef. What came out of it was a little story developed from following water pipes across the globe to provide clean drinking water in Africa. Eye catching and very informative (if you can speak french).
