Loverstown is Jonathan Calugi is an illustrator based in Italy and it is from his self-proclaimed chaotic workspace, that he creates his clean illustration and pattern works. Illustrator per se, he dabs into font design, merch and anything between juggling and embracing many many different type of projects.

Greeting you on top of buildings, outside shops with a fist raised to the sky and in restaurant windows staring unblinkingly, the Japanese mascot is almost unavoidable. Idle Idol: The Japanese Mascot collects these wonderful characters.
Book initiative and written and photographed by What What which is made up of twins John and Edward Harrison.

Eyeport is gone! Long live Lee Hasler for endorsing himself as a durable brand. The bulk of his illustrations has impressed me for quite a number of years, he made it to our Best of the Year listing in 2005 and year after year since, he delivers genuine eye candy.

One of the best pixel based illustrator in the world, his bulky-squary characters are set in top down perspectives (like flying over sorta speaking) are to the last pixel, bundles of joy.

Derek Stenning lives in a world of his own filled with astronauts of surreal, painful and of grandiose attitude and canvas proportions. His drawing and perspective skills are of master class quality and the palette enriched with drama and outwardly light.
As you can see there is this central character Entartete Kunst who appears in most of his projects. The breathing apparel (or what looks like it) is to be likened to a much wanted balloon when you’re a kid?

Found another pattern maker who goes by the handle of As Art Up. Andrea Schreiber’s work is incredibly vibrant, reminesent of pop-art with a penchant for magenta (mostly) and cyan tints.
Some digging to do but worth it.
