Onesidezero is the the illustration and design work of Brett Wilkinson. Brett’s work has been featured in campaigns for the likes of Panasonic and the Big Chill Festival, as well as numerous international books and publications. The man himself sums up his approach rather nicely;

‘The work combines vivid, flowing forms with linear and geometric shape influenced from a background in graphic design.’

The Onesidezero site also features a new shop section, where some of his beautiful screen prints and posters are available for purchase.
