A highly stylized, cinematic flat illustration inspired by Kevin Dart’s retro-modern animated style, depicting the cluttered office of a television producer in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1990. The scene is framed as a wide shot inside a small, dimly lit office filled with retro charm. At the center, a large wooden desk is overflowing with scattered documents, handwritten notes, folders, coffee cups, old pens, and an open planner. A classic rotary phone and an ashtray with a smoking cigarette sit off to one side. Behind the desk, a tall wall of bookshelves is packed with VHS tapes, their colorful spines and faded labels stacked tightly in rows and leaning piles. Some are still in cardboard sleeves, others with handwritten titles on white labels. A small CRT television rests on one shelf, with a VHS player below it and a blinking digital clock. The room’s lighting is moody and nostalgic: golden afternoon sunlight filters through dusty venetian blinds, casting sharp horizontal shadows across the desk and shelves. The walls are decorated with faded posters of local TV programs, production schedules pinned with thumbtacks, and a corkboard filled with notes and Polaroids. The color palette is warm and desaturated: soft ochres, dusty browns, muted teals, and faded reds. Shadows are long and graphic, giving the space depth while maintaining a clean, flat aesthetic. The entire composition blends chaos and control, nostalgia and creativity capturing the energy of 1990s television culture in Uruguay, rendered with Kevin Dart’s elegant, animated, and graphic storytelling style.
