Aidan Hughes is a British commercial artist that specializes in high contrast illustrations. He has been active in the art world for over 30 years now and his style is highly recognizable by thick black lines. He is probably most famous for his album covers for the band KMFDM. A lot of Hughes work uses a black and white color scheme or black and white with accent colors. His primary influence has been stated as Cold War era Russian propaganda. As such, most of his work deals with the idea of violence, oppression, and revolt. For more information,  check out his blog.
