CHRISTOPHER
WILSON
Christopher Wilson, also known as Oberphones, is interested in non-dogmatic, responsive and responsible graphic design and illustration; in thinking and doing; in modernism as an approach rather than a style; in outtakes and B-sides as much as in greatest hits; in Vladimir Nabokov and Smash Hits; in Lego’s old maxim of it being a new toy every day.
