Brian Rea is a super fantastic illustrator in Los Angeles who just had the chance to work with one of the greatest literary thinkers of our time: Malcolm Gladwell. Rea along with Gladwell and designer Paul Sahre assembled a redesigned, remastered, rereleased, and reanimated (through Rea’s illustrations) version of the books The Tipping Point, Blink, and Outliers. Rea’s work on them all is super fantastic and we got to hear about his process and see an extensive look at his work on the project.
