/ Surfacing the creative culture
since '98

New rising star

Totally impressed! Harry Nesbitt is an up and coming young illustrator who is preparing to take the industry by storm. His 3d like drawings are infused with such imagination and creativity on top of being technically excellent. Definitely someone to watch for.

Like his style? He’s available for assignments.

Remnant 70s

Lloyd Eugene was born and raised in the rugged mountains, desolate plains, and lush valleys of Idaho. He is a “creative who loves to draw, paint, craft, develop, build, construct, free-associate, critique, communicate, collaborate, play, learn and grow without boundries between art, design, music, technology, and my everyday life.”

His seemingly chaotic line strokes often output as remnant 70s psychedelia style mixed with ornate Art Nouveauesque details.

idokungfoo workspace

Simon Oxley and I go way back, in fact just when he was launching his first online illustration portfolio filled the lovely characters that are his stapple currency sporting this tagline (that has endure as his key sig through the years):

“idokungfoo so you don’t have to”

Hailing from Fukuoka, Japan he has whipped some high visibility logos (iStockimages and Twitter) and now you can have an overview of his workspace via ShareSomeCandy.

Fleshed and flushed

Juliette Borda quirky drawings “reveal the insecurities we have about our bodies and ourselves…her illustrations encourage us to laugh at our imperfections. (She goes) beyond the individual to deal with the trials and tribulations involved in relating to others. She moves through the various stages of interaction, from insecurity when meeting new people to the full flush of love or friendship through to the end of the relationship.”

Couldn’t have said it better.

Life and daydreams

Daniel Egnéus was born and Sweden and lives and daydreams and illustrates in either Rome or Milano. The sheer quality of his sketching abilities and water color treatment are simply jaw-dropping. He seems to capture the essence of life with seemingly little efforts. Sure sign of a gift for observation that is above average.

He has no formal training

WalmArt series

Jonathan Lewis did this series of WalmArt in different locations and generated pixel based beauty! So finding inspiration around you in the most uninspiring of places as in this case, is taken literally and turned into something of visual appeal.

Don’t hesitate to have a look at this other series titled Designer Labels to view more pixel goodness.

Retro-feel collages

Tonwen Jones studied design and illustration at Central Saint Martins and graduated with an MA in Sequential Illustration at Brighton University in 2007. Since graduating, she has worked for several London design agencies as well as working on a varied range of commissions from editorial, publishing and packaging to advertising.

Luv her retro-feel collages!
