Olaf Hajek is into a painterly style that attracts a lot of editorial commissions. Often depicts crowded over spaces or sometimes, which I prefer, completely minimalist. Overall is work is strong and bold and yet, can be very detailed and refined.
Discover the deliriously out of this world collection of illustrations by Colin Johnson. Read the captions of each illustration to get a scope of his conceptual abilities and imagination.
His are not meant as pretty pictures. But as smart pictures.
Makes you think.

Luckily Victo Ngai is an illustrator and she finds her true identity there. Drawing gives her lots of joy, and hopefully it will get her some money, too. No doubt that her wishes will come true. What a marvelously exotic imagination she has.
Dallas Maurer aka Salad Design is a recent communication design graduate and he has learnt many talents such as how to relax and work simultaneously and meet unfair deadlines. Gotta luv his approach to print, editorial and packaging design.
He’s now available for work.
Andy Potts is a London based illustrator/animator whose career has comprised image making, graphic design, animation and art direction including a 7 year stint as Lead designer at Abbey Road Studios.
Illustration has now taken centre stage working with a wide variety of clients in advertising, book covers and editorial work for international newspapers and magazines.
His style is one that has evolved to become even more personal since we first featured him, stronger in incorporating a mix media feel with loads of strong contrasting colors in as strong concepts.
Lizzy Stewart graduated with a first class degree from Edinburgh College of Art in 2009. She is a fan of pencils, cardigans and Russian history. And also bears. Her style is in the grand tradition of classic illustration intersecting with a folksy naive gloss.
Colin Snow currently resides in Los Angeles. He graduated Biola University in 2010. He works for Metropark. Check out some of his work for the brand. Luv the big type and layout over photography for both web and print. Promising talent.
Oh, and he is available for freelance.
