Armando Veve’s illustrations depict uncanny juxtapositions, whimsical storytelling, and commentary on contemporary and historical subjects. His vividly detailed compositions—a Sonoran Desert toad applying lipstick, absurd furniture designs, a reinterpretation of an Aesop fable—have been printed in numerous national publications, exhibited in galleries, and installed in subway stations and other public settings. He is a six-time Society of Illustrators gold medalist, ADC Young Gun, and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree. In 2023, he was awarded a Pew Fellowship in the Arts from the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage. He studied illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design and currently lives and draws in Philadelphia.
