Eleanor Davis must be an interesting character judging by her highly varied works ranging all over the map from what looks like vector, to drawing, to painting and even including comics and graphic novels for kids. Lots of talent.

Swedish illustrator Kilian Eng has mastered just the right amount of noise to give his images that soft-airbrushed throwback feeling but manages to keep a modern contemporary twist to his work. We are digging it big time, and he has quite an imagination too. Lovely.

London based creative design agency Mat Dolphin sat down with 10 questions for one of their favorite designer illustrators (and he’s one of mine as well) Mario Hugo. It’s a quick, candid and personal interview that should offer a little insight into the personality and process that lies behind the work of Mr. Hugo.

Edward Kinsella has a kind of accessible but personal style that feels a little like something Edgar Allen Poe might create were he a visual artist.

I don’t know if it’s just trendy to say that you are ‘so over collage right now’ but just when I try to say it to myself I discover another collage artist I respond too. There is something very ‘now’ about collage in that there is so much visual clutter out there now with the internet. Soon that information will be streamed through window advertising offering up an internet-archived smorgasbord of information. It seems to make sense to want to rearrange all of that imagery into something more meaningfully abstract. And Mario Wagner is doing that but adding a little splash of pop color.

Kira Leigh looks like such a nice young lady but her “non-archival, spontaneous line work bleeds and flows on paper as thoughts are poured out in the form of surreal subject matter” will set your mind reeling back into a primal reflective childlike acid flashback. It’s hard to tell if your having fun looking at all of the bright colors and organic lines until you begin to fully take in the mass of strange disturbing mutated subject matter. But you know what? I really like it.

Dutch illustrator Merijn Hos has updated with some new work. I am a fan of his Yellow Submarine-esque characters and organic slightly psychedelic style. I have a few prints of his given to me by Mario Hugo and absolutely love them.

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers or IEEE recently asked designer illustrator extraordinaire Frank Chimero to illustrate a feature about the top 11 technologies of the past decade. One of his top choices was the smart phone as it stands alone in how it has revolutionized how we consume information on a totally mobile platform. He followed up his choices with some simple, eloquent, accessible and colorful illustrations. Frank never disappoints. He’s a thinking man’s designer.

Brazilian creative studio Firmorama has recently updated their Flickrfolio with some new illustrations offering up some strange arrangements of even stranger elements. I’m not entirely sure what exactly they mean but they are very interesting to look at.
