Illustration
that argues
before the text.

I've been drawing
ideas for
thirty years.

I'm Jose Luis Garcia Lechner, an Amsterdam illustrator working since 1996. My editorial work is rooted in concept and character — illustration that makes a reader stop, look, and think before reaching the headline.

I've been published across European print and digital media, with conceptual work for cultural institutions, newspapers, and magazines. Available for editorial commissions and cover work. Dutch, Spanish, and English.
