Australian illustrator Jonathan Zawada is one of our favorites of this past year and he has just updated with a new site featuring the work that we have grown to love him for. He is at the top of his game and someone to keep a close eye on in 2011.
Roméo Jonathan is a French 3D concept illustration artist with a seriously breathtaking body of work. He derives influence from manga, japanimation and video games to help fuel his inspiration to create some truly imaginative work. Apparently he started as a Flash web designer but discovered Cinema 4D and lifted off from there.
I can’t seem to find an ‘about’ page at the site of designer/illustrator Lukas Brezak but what I did find was a large body of work that runs from extremely illustrative to somewhat graphic. His talent is not under dispute and his work is a lot of fun to look at.
Los Angeles based illustrator and designer Julia Sonmi Heglund has been on our radar for a long time. It’s been a while since we last checked in on her site and she has kept busy and updated lately with some new and fun illustration work that is worth looking into.
It’s been a long time since I wrote about the work of graphic illustrator Philip Tseng who calls himself Minicubby. He has since posted some new and fun projects including the alphabet series featured above.
Artist and illustrator Tim Gough has launched an online storefront and stocked it with both some beautiful prints and some excellent tee shirts.
Kim Dulaney relaunches with some seriously beautiful work for both motion boards and print. It’s highly artistic, a little bit strange and very detailed work.
Eric Bonhomme attended the Ringling college of and design. I am a fan of his gritty accessible style. His images are kinetic and full of life even though they employ simple color combinations.
Dale Edwin Murray is an illustrator based in East London with a throwback 60’s style that makes his work a lot of fun to look at.
Doe Eyed is the illustration and design work of Eric Nyffeler who is based out of Lincoln, Nebraska. Wow, two Nebraska-based posts in one day by a Nebraska-born blogger, have we entered some kind of bizarro dimension?
Eric recently updated his portfolio with some super fun new work and his portfolio keeps getting better with each new addition.
C Rixon graduated with a first class BA honours degree in Illustration at the University of Gloucestershire and is currently studying for his masters at the University College Falmouth. He has some clever work in his portfolio and some serious hand skills.
Ventilate has released their 5th free downloadable poster series entitled ‘Dystopia’. There are some nice entries this go round including the spacesuit astronaut pilot artwork of Derek Stenning. Each poster is available at 300 dpi so you can print them out and hang them in your domicile or studio. Thank you Ventilate.
Illustrator Douglas Bicicleta has continued updating his Flickr-folio and I am becoming a downright fan of this guy. He is awesome. His work just keeps getting better and more exciting. Definitely keep an eye on him if you are into what he is putting out there.
Álvaro de Almeida is a Portuguese illustrator with a somewhat dark animated style utilizing hand-rendered drawings that are finished digitally. He’s currently on the hunt for magazines or publications who might be interested in his unique flavor.
Artist and illustrator Raymond Lemstra has crafted some unusual creatures that draw influence from Mayan and Native American art. He’s skilled with the pencil though and that is really only a glimpse of what he can do. He has several interesting works throughout his portfolio.
Shape Anatomy is the work of Italian designer and illustrator Valerio Vittozzi. The newer work in his portfolio consists primarily of classic Roman sculpture intermingled with not-so-classic three dimensional graffiti forms. It makes for an interesting juxtaposition of forms.
“Born in the North of England, Chris King grew up in the seaside town of Scarborough. He attended the University of Northumbria in Newcastle where he gained a degree in Media Production, specializing in Animation and Character Design.”
Illustrator Jules Julien has recently updated his illustration portfolio with a few new series of images including this rather humorous and fun series of smiling animals.
