Pawel Mild­ner is an illus­tra­tor and graphic designer liv­ing and work­ing in Wro­claw, Poland. He is, “Inspired by the flavour of non-digital mid-century clas­sic design and the inter­na­tional graf­fiti scene” (via him). Pawel’s work feels youth­ful (espe­cially the fox in the car — reminds me of Richard Scarry), but a bit less cheery (espe­cially Mar­tina ...

Emilia Forstreuter is graphic and motion designer based in Berlin. Her 2D work is slick, and I am espe­cially enjoy­ing how elec­tric it feels. Right now, I am lov­ing pieces that make me feel as though I’m look at a col­lec­tion. (See one of my favorite Tum­blrs -Things Orga­nized Neatly.) The dark ground not only ...

To round out the post day, I’ve decided to write about another cut paper artist. Mr. Yen (real name Jonathan Chap­man) is a graphic design stu­dent out of the UK and already mak­ing a name for him­self (aside from call­ing him­self Mr. Yen)! Mr. Yen’s aes­thetic is clean, crisp, and and gen­er­ally mono­chro­matic. It is evi­dent ...

Rachel Wil­son stud­ied Eng­lish in col­lege. After hav­ing worked in the pub­lish­ing indus­try for awhile, she even­tu­ally returned to her love of mak­ing things. I think that Rachel’s time spent study­ing lit­er­a­ture shines through in her work. Upon view­ing her work, I was instantly reminded of the Art Nou­veau move­ment. Her draw­ings, like that the art ...

Tom Edwards is an illustrator/graphic designer liv­ing in Brighton. While his port­fo­lio is all-around impres­sive, his drawings/collages are what I have really spent some time with. Tom’s draw­ing style is some­what naive, but that is not meant to be an insult. His work is charm­ing, engag­ing, and very inter­est­ing in its sim­plic­ity. I have included images ...

DJG Design (aka Danny Gib­son) is an artist/designer I’ve been admir­ing since I was in high school. He was the artist doing the show posters and local album cov­ers in my home­town and has since expanded his pop­u­lar­ity to more than just the mid-west United States. DJG’s media of choice really varies. He uses col­lage, ...

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 ...

Thereza Rowe is a London-based illus­tra­tor and graphic designer. She enjoys draw­ing a vari­ety of dif­fer­ent ani­mals and often employs them in her work. Also preva­lent in her work is a sense of whimsy (in the best sense of the word) and imag­i­nary lands. I love her sense of color and the char­ac­ter­i­za­tion she’s given to ...
