About
Jan Pulfer is a Swiss illustrator, graphic designer and Co-Founder of the Studio Macherei. He studied «Illustration Fiction» at the Lucern School of Art and Design, currently lives and works in Basel, Switzerland.
His work includes editorial illustration, book illustration, poster design, comic & cartoon, graphic design an a little bit of animation.
Actually his drawing skills are quite good, but most of the time it doesn't really helps him to get a topic to the point. Therefore most of his works lives from a reduced, abstract or graphic style with the visible quality of the analogue design process.
Feel free to contact me for any kind of illustrative or visual project, or just to say hello ;)
