Ilya Milstein illustrations
New York based Milan and Melbourne raised illustrator Ilya Milstein works mainly as editorial artist for clients include The New York Times, Kiehl's and Vice Media. In his recent series commissioned by the New York Times Style Magazine, Ilya recreates "New Yorkers and Their's 80s routines"
“These detailed streetscapes follow a character as she navigates the bustling and gritty New York of the era, crossing paths along the way with figures like David Wojnarowicz, Sylvia Woods and Andy Warhol”
The era might have been old New York’s last real gasp — a time when the very streets, dirty and unsafe as they were, seemed infused with possibility. Here, notable locals revisit their routes and routines, from lunch on the Upper East to nighttime sojourns to then-emerging neighborhoods like TriBeCa. - NYT
