Louis Hellman is an architect turned cartoonist. He is most revered for his Archi-têtes series - caricatures of architects which use elements of their own buildings, whilst playing on the anthropomorphic elements in architecture. The series was actually conceived as competition entry to the Architectural Review in 1984 which Hellman won. Unused. Very good.
