Illustrator and cartoonist Leon Edler admits his biggest love is comedy. “I’m a comedy nerd and grew up loving everything from 50s radio comedy to modern sitcoms,” he told Sense of Creativity, mentioning names like Tony Hancock, Seinfeld, and Alan Partridge amongst his comedic icons.

“I wanted to make stuff that made people laugh,” says Edler. As it turns out, that “stuff” would be illustrations and cartoons. “I thought that would be for TV, but I liked how immediate cartoons were,” he explains. “I could draw them and make my friends laugh.” As time passed, his drawing improved, catching up to his sense of humor.

Jump forward a decade later and Edler now runs his own illustration studio, Leillo, based in Brighton. Over the years he has collaborated with the best of the best, including publications and news outlets like The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Guardian, CNN, and Vanity Fair.

“I’m sure everyone is creative in some way,” says Edler. “But it’s a spectrum like anything. I think if you’re really creative, you will always feel a need to make stuff – whether that’s writing, drawing, making music or whatever. But to make good stuff, you need to spend a lot of time practicing – finding what you’re good and bad at.” His confident style and hand-drawn humor provide a well needed comic relief.

Change is the only thing that’s constant in this world, and that includes our taste for the media we watch.

A couple of decades ago, as kids, we watched a different set of cartoons compared to the kids of today. Sure, some of the shows that we watched then are still alive today, but very rarely are they still updated, and if they are, they now look completely different from what they used to look like.

Either way, Calob Castellon decided that it was a good idea to pay homage to the cartoons of years past.

Weirdly enough though, his idea of paying homage is to create harrowing “what if” illustrations of what the most iconic areas of our once-favorite cartoons would look like today, after being abandoned and left to rot for years.

On one hand, his illustrations are a great way to go on a trip down memory lane and on the other hand, we can’t really guarantee that the trip will be all that pleasant.

Be sure to scroll down below to see Calob Castellon’s works.
