Illustrations

Illustrator Michael C. Hsiung describes himself as an “Asian bum with a mustache who draws pictures.” We can't attest to his work ethic, but his mustache is kinda epic. So much so, that it has come to define both his fashion style and illustration style. Drawn using Micron pens and Higgins black ink, his characters, which consist of...
Roberts Rurans' illustrations have a timeless quality about them. Minimalistic, bold, and graphic, they deliver simple messages in neat, digestible form. “I try to simplify forms and avoid the inclusion of small details in my compositions as they’re usually unnecessary both visually and conceptually,” said Rurans in an interview with Sense of Creativity. https://www.instagram.com/p/B52NNbnpFBh/ This simplifaction also meant, in his...
Andrea D’Aquino's creative process involves a healthy dose of experimentation. An illustrator and an author, she mixes different techniques and mediums, making her work both playful and approachable. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3zoFE-H6YL/ “I use a mix of medias and have a spontaneous approach,” she told Bibelot Magazine. With her illustration, it's a kind of blend between drawing and collage making. “It’s often collage, but...
When you boil it down, a good illustration requires only pen and paper. Albert Chamillard geometric illustrations are as good a demonstration as any. Using well-worn books, found pieces of paper, and the simplest of drawing tools (restricted to blue, black, and red pens), his works are immediately familiar to any student who's doodled on the edges of...
It was during her art studies that Boston, MA-based illustrator and designer, Krista Perry, took a very serious oath: to make something fun every day for the rest of her life. And at least judging by her Instagram page, Perry is keeping her promise. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9PTeJBBQLT/ Since graduating in 2015 with a BFA in illustration from Massachusetts College of Art and Design,...
Kristen Liu-Wong’s illustrations are easily recognizable. Colored in her signature pastel pink, they have a neon sheen to them that's reminiscent of Lisa Frank stickers. But while her color choices might appeal to children, her themes and subjects lean towards the naughty and grotesque. It's such a juxtaposition that makes her work so unique. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9aF3lvAj3Q/ According to Liu-Wong, her unique style...
Vito Ansaldi describes himself as an Italy-based illustrator addicted to conceptual art who mostly illustrates modern society, everyday life, emotions and things that catches his attention. https://www.instagram.com/p/BXqo1zFAHNT/ “I am fascinated by what surrounds me. I just observe, reflect and translate my personal thoughts into an illustrated concept. Sometimes, I use voice memos to ‘save’ an inspiration I will work on later,” the artist told...
Illustrator Emily Barnes has a goal to "create art that reflects on, inspires, and laughs with life," as she writes on her website. Barnes started her company Illustrations by Em in 2018 and since then she's published children's books, illustrations, comics, portraits, and other design work. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9XT_hYBJev/ Barnes' work is filled with imagination, optimism, humor, and adventure. We really love her...

Gabriel Alcala’s illustrations pack a punch. Known for his whimsical characters, drawn with exaggerated features, his illustration style is undeniably cool, without trying too hard. https://www.instagram.com/p/B7WF8nIBgVT/ “Ultimately I want my illustrations to have the same kind of impact that a great Mitch Hedberg one-liner joke has, haha,” he remarked once in an interview with Amadeus Magazine. “Really simple, hits you...
