Adrian Johnson. Influences?

[indesertum]

I don't know if this warrants a new thread, but can anybody name the influences on this guy's work?

He's one of the artists on 2K by gingham. I know I've seen that nose and shape before, but I can't put my finger on a name. If anybody knows anything, will +++rep

james todd . . .aka reas is what comes to mind for me..though they might both be inspired from the same places....it has that 60's/70's cartoon feel

you actually see that kind of cartoon illustration coming out in the late 50's/early 60's from paris and london. americans adopted it and gave it a sorta blanket form in the guise of Bullwinkle and similar cartoons, but you see this kinda stuff in The Pink Panther's credits, as well as a lot of british mod-inspired cartoons.

yeah i was thinking of old cartoons maybe like schoolhouse rock, but i couldn't find a specific cartoon or artist that hints at that specific shape of nose. i swear i've seen it before. anyways thanks a lot. +reppp.
