Anyone have suggestions on how to create the awesome swirls and other elements that are used on this poster? Any tutorials I find are all how to do simple shitty ones - how can I make them so complex yet refined (with the multiple direction shifts and varying line thickness) Are they hand-drawn? Or is there a way to create this effect in illustrator?
Thanks for any input!

Look for a pinstriping tutorial.

Draw them with the bezier tool and adjust the line widths or use the artistic brushes.
Or, sub the work to an illustrator.

I just want to say I love the website where you found this...

Illustrator has line width (called Profile) control in 5.5 and up.
I suspect most of these curls are created from patched-together circles.

Looks like the artist drew it once, very carefully (good eye, talent) and then just duplicated it and resized. I agree with arthur on this, draw them or find someone who can.
