Tom Froese’s illustrations are, literally, all over the place. From magazines and greeting cards to beer labels and ceramics, his colorful illustration add a touch of humor to everyday items.

A designer by training, Froese has worked as a freelance illustrator since 2013, collaborating with brands like Yahoo!, Air Canada, GQ France, and Abrams Publishing.

“My work is inspired by illustrations from the 1950s and 60s, which were often constrained by simpler reproduction techniques like letterpress, screen printing, and limited color offset printing,” he told Ape on the Moon. “In terms of mood, I aim to create work that has a friendly swagger and a gentle freedom to it.”

Check out some of his work in the gallery below.

Have I told you I love running? An ideal day for me starts with a long run, or at least has a run before dinner time. . I’m training for a half marathon, and I love the focus and send of purpose this has given to my running routine. At almost 39 years old, I can run faster and further than ever in my life. I’m fitter than ever and feel amazing. . Having goals and a sense of purpose is 100% THE key to becoming our best. Now I’m talking not only about running, but illustration too! . Image for a client whom I hope to hype to you one day. They graciously allowed me to post this even as they are developing their brand. . #running #runvan #training #nrc #nikerunclub #justdoit #bmovanmarathon
