Justin Hampton’s art has been instantly recognizable for 30 years, but what Hampton’s book “Visual Feast” illuminates is that within his recognizable style there is astounding diversity in the ideal solutions for the subjects and ideas of his pieces. Hampton is not just an insanely prolific, supremely talented, illustrator and designer, but a clever visual strategist. The art in this book often comprises projects with a need for collaboration and a smart nod to the visual history of the band or subject. Hampton embraces the challenge of delivering art that acknowledges the history, but employs his unique style with a twist on the subject to create something both nostalgic and brand new. Visual storytelling is Hampton’s specialty, but his extensive written words add a depth and richness to his personal story that showcases his passion and authenticity.
