harriet seed

03.31.2010 · Posted in artist, illustration, illustrator

Har­riet Seed is an emerg­ing illus­tra­tor out of the UK. Her web­site shows a vari­ety of dif­fer­ent tech­niques and poten­tial direc­tions she can go with her work. While I enjoy Harriet’s work as a whole, I really love her images of museum vis­i­tors. I feel like she hits the right notes there; the draw­ing is loose ...

Irene Schoch is an illus­tra­tor who makes her home in Geneva. Her work takes the form in books, ani­ma­tions, and in 3D. Irene uses styl­ized images to tell her sto­ries. Her draw­ings and paint­ings are flat and col­or­ful, full of energy and life. They have a won­der­ful dry-brushing tech­nique that pairs unusual col­ors together, but doesn’t ...

aurelius battaglia

For Fri­day, let’s take it back a bit. I’ve always enjoyed illus­tra­tions from the 1940’s, 50’s, and 60’s. Aure­lius Battaglia was an Amer­i­can illus­tra­tor and mural­ist. He worked at Dis­ney on pro­duc­tions such as Dumbo, Fan­ta­sia, and Pinoc­chio, in addi­tion to being a pro­lific children’s book writer. Aure­lius has a sense of color that I ...

torie leigh

I want to visit the world that Torie Leigh has cre­ated. Upon first view­ing, I was instantly attracted to his sense of ten­der­ness and quiet subversion. The way in which Torie paints and han­dles the medium gives it a soft, feath­ered look with few hard edges. He cre­ates dream-like sce­nar­ios by aug­ment­ing char­ac­ters that come ...

catell ronca

Upon view­ing Catell Ronca’s work, it is obvi­ous that she has quite a bit to say. She does so in bold, loud col­ors and expres­sive gestures. Catell illus­trates for a vari­ety of sub­ject mat­ters and has book cov­ers, food illus­tra­tion, children’s books, and even stamps in her port­fo­lio. The nice thing about her work is ...

rich gemmell

03.01.2010 · Posted in illustration, illustrator

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

02.26.2010 · Posted in artist, illustrator

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 ...

gianluca foli

02.23.2010 · Posted in illustration, illustrator

I am really enjoy­ing the work of Gian­luca Foli lately. He is an Ital­ian illus­tra­tor that has worked for a vari­ety of dif­fer­ent illus­tra­tion clients. Includ­ing Japan­ese, Amer­i­can clients, etc… His work is some­what del­i­cate and pen­sive, yet expres­sive. He has an excel­lent hand with pen and ink. It’s clear he knows the media well ...
