Julia Pott is an ani­ma­tor and illus­tra­tor liv­ing in Lon­don. She works on free­lance projects and is also apart of the ani­ma­tion and illus­tra­tion col­lec­tive, Treat Stu­dios. Line qual­ity and pat­terns are what I enjoy the most out Julia’s work. That aspect is very gin­ger and fine, and gives way for intri­cate motifs, extremely detailed. ...

Nepo­muk is a small design and illus­tra­tion group from Berlin, Ger­many. With three mem­bers, they do a vari­ety of design and illus­tra­tive projects, includ­ing books, posters, and even col­or­ing books! Nepo­muk has some great vari­ety in their work.They do a lot of pieces deal­ing with typog­ra­phy and book design, but also draw­ing a print­mak­ing, involv­ing less ...

Jayme McGowan is an artist liv­ing in Cal­i­for­nia. She makes won­der­ful paper cutouts and 3D shadow boxes, using paper as a a way to ren­der depth. Jayme’s shadow boxes are some­thing that you don’t see every­day, espe­cially in the world of illus­tra­tion. Her char­ac­ters are sweet and the work shows that there is a lot of ...

I first became acquainted with the work of Julie Morstad through my obses­sion with the singer Neko Case. Julie pro­vided the art­work for Neko Cases’s album Fox Con­fes­sor Brings the Flood, and I was instantly attracted to her style and content. Julie’s style varies; some­times, she uses heavy cross-hatching and sub­tle ink washes. Other times, ...

Gemma Cor­rell is an indi­vid­ual who likes draw­ing, pugs, and cof­fee. She is an illus­tra­tor liv­ing in the UK, but it looks like she has also ven­tured into the Bay area of the US as well. Gemma’s char­ac­ters make me melt a lit­tle inside. They are so earnest look­ing and the char­ac­ter­i­za­tion of them makes absolutely ...

Born in Hong Kong and raised in Canada, Andrea Wan cre­ates both haunt­ing and beau­ti­ful works. I first saw Andrea’s work on the Fairy Tale Project, and was imme­di­ately enthralled by both the col­ors and imagery. Con­cep­tu­ally, all of her work has a cer­tain level of dark­ness to it, and an inner sor­row. My favorite works ...

Niv Bavarsky is an illus­tra­tor still attend­ing the Mary­land Insti­tute, Col­lege of Art. Orig­i­nally from Los Ange­les, he is an emerg­ing artist that already has done some impres­sive work commercially. Niv’s work is mostly dig­i­tal, but uses hand-created tex­tures to enhance his line work. He has some gor­geous ink washes that go so well with ...

Rich Gem­mell is a UK-based illus­tra­tor liv­ing in Cam­bridgeshire, Eng­land. His (fairly) recent per­sonal work is a mix­ture of col­lage work with some dig­i­tal ren­der­ing. I love the images and have been keep­ing my eye on these works for a while now. I think Rich’s back­ground and the envi­ron­ment he sets up for his sub­jects is ...

Natasha New­ton is an artist and illus­tra­tor liv­ing and work­ing in Suf­folk, Eng­land. Her work is inspired by nature, pat­terns, and ani­mals, fea­tur­ing them all very prominently. Natasha’s work is very del­i­cate, and almost lyri­cal how the fig­ures and ground inter­act each other. There is often such a stark con­trast between them you really pick ...

Simon Wild is an illus­tra­tor work­ing in Suf­folk, Eng­land. His work is bold, col­or­ful, active yet not over­whelm­ing. He has worked on chil­drens’ books, pri­vate com­mis­sions, and par­tic­i­pated in gallery shows. I enjoy the push and pull that is in his work. Simon often uses bright col­ors cou­pled with mul­ti­ple pat­terns and sub­ject mat­ter. To ...
