According to Brown, her name is a clear depiction of the work she does, which she describes as “colorful, strong, and unique.” Indeed, there’s an overall sense of confidence in her illustrated works. Centered around female characters, her subjects – fashionable and confident – look large and in charge.

Her color choices remind of the ’70s aesthetics – an era which also provides Brown with endless sources of inspiration. “I love collecting ’70s interior design books for inspiration,” she says. “The over-the-top colorful palettes, quirky motifs, and the overall carefree attitude of the ’70s excite me, and those are elements that I like to bring into my work.”

“I love creating designs and illustrations for brands that share a similar vision and purpose,” she adds. “It’s the best feeling when brands specifically come to me for my personal style and push me to pump out my very best work.” Based in New York, her work has drawn clients as big as Apple, Facebook, Sephora, and Google. You’d want to follow her work yourself.

“I think that, for me, being an illustrator is as much about creating content that’s useful or informative or connects with other people as it is about making something that’s meaningful to me,” said Finnie in an interview with Sense of Creativity. “I always try to find a way to personally connect with a piece I’m working on, so that I can put some unique perspective into it, even if it’s not obvious to others in the final illustration.”

“I’m very drawn to Surrealism in particular, both in art and in literature, and I think that has a strong influence in my work,” she adds, mentioning icons like René Magritte, Haruki Murakami, and Jorge Luis Borges as sources of inspiration.

“Where it’s appropriate – e.g, illustrating more conceptual pieces – I always try to dig down into the unconscious aspect of the subject I’m illustrating and get a feeling for what is under the surface, the undercurrent of an article,” she explains. Indeed, her work invites you to uncover its hidden symbols. Or at least, attempt to…

With a BA in Graphic Design from the Curtin University of Technology and 12 years of experience behind her, she definitely puts her money where her mouth is. Based in Australia, her varied clients include the Perth Zoo, the State Library of Western Australia, and the University of New England.

“Once I get a brief, I sketch while split-screen researching on my iPad (normally on the couch with the terrible TV on in the background),” she explains her creative process. “Once the sketches are approved by my client, it’s color blocking time. If the brief allows, I’ll bring into PS and go nuts with homemade paint textures and brushes.”

But though Mills’ artwork is digital, through and through, she admits she highly regards traditional illustrators. “I have so much respect for those working in traditional media without the magic of undo and easy proportion/scale adjustments,” she said.

But like all good things, it took Jadhav some time to establish a coherent style and artistic voice. After years of playing around with different aesthetics, she says that she found a passion for creating surreal digital spaces.

“When I am creating an illustration in 3D, I start by collecting a lot of real-life references,” she relayed in an interview with Ballpitmag. Inspired by photography, architecture, modern art and textiles, she’s also a fan of artists like Constantin Brâncuși, Peter Tarka and Cabeza Patata.

“Once I visualize it in my head, I go straight to 3D and build basic shapes,” she explained. “I spend a good amount of time on creating compositions with those basic shapes.” According to Jadhav, composition is key. “At this stage, I prefer lighting my scene as it helps me in composing and see how shapes react to light,” she adds. “Then I get into adding details to those 3D shapes, play with materials and render to bring my imagination to life.”

Here are some highlights from her Instagram page.

If a picture, indeed, speaks a thousand words, Winata’s illustrations do so rather effortlessly. Known for her vector style of illustrations, her aesthetic relies on clean shapes and a limited color palette. In other words, her artwork cuts to the chase.

“I mostly work in vector because that’s what I’m used to and work fastest in,” explained Winata. “With the right brushes/textures you can use it to emulate drawings done organically. Vector drawings can also be scaled up easily, making vector a versatile medium for adaptations to different formats.”

With an Associate’s Degree in Graphic Design from The Art Institute of New York City, Winata’s work includes illustration, digital, design, and advertising. We highly recommend you follow her work online, via Instagram.

“I was born in 1972 and grew up in rural Ontario,” he writes on his website. “I was fortunate to have a big ancient barn to play in. Despite an acute allergy to hay, I would build elaborate hay forts. There were woods and beaver ponds nearby to explore. During those weeks of the summer when too much pollen was about, I’d retreat to my room where I would draw, build elaborate things out of Lego, and make primitive computer graphics on my Commodore 64.”

Now he builds imagined worlds full time, working as an illustrator as well as an environment/concept artist in the film and TV industry. According to Borrett, some people find his spaces claustrophobic, while others want to linger inside them. “I enjoy the combination of the creepy and the whimsical,” he once remarked in an interview with Line Gallery. “Perhaps this boils down to wanting my drawings to be haunted in the same way that my dreams locales often feel haunted.”

This sense of hauntedness is also the result of his landscapes being eerily devoid of any human presence. “I hope that a viewer will be able to put themselves in my spaces,” he explained. “To that end, I’ve avoided adding any figures of any kind to inhabit the rooms, so the viewer is free to imagine themselves inhabiting them if they choose.”

“My work has evolved quite a lot since I first started illustrating many, many moons ago,” he relayed in an interview with Inky Goodness. “Initially my work focused on quite heavy textures, juxtaposed with naive shapes and figures. Over the years it changed, evolving to include more dramatic lighting, a bolder more contrasting use of color, often utilizing a limited palette of 3-5 colors, and more polished figurative work.”

With a growing presence on Instagram, and collaborations with clients like Variety, The Telegraph, and Politico – his effort has clearly paid off. But he also loves working on personal projects, admitting that “working without a brief can be pretty liberating and it’s a great way to experiment without time pressures or any restrictions.”

Many moons later, Weiler says “this experience has definitely taught me how fast the internet moves, but also how quickly it moves on after the initial hype dies down. I’ve seen the flip side of virality: marketing teams are always trying to make this happen, but what happened to me is something money can’t buy.”

Still, she managed to cash in on her fame with clients that include Adobe, Mattel, and TIME Magazine. And though her trash doves are very much charming, her other illustrations are worth some love as well.

Growing up in West Virginia, Weiler says that creativity was a huge part of her childhood. After years of studying at private art classes, she enrolled in Ringling College of Art and Design in Florida. And with more than 10k followers on Instagram and a loving fanbase around the world, the sky is truly the limit for her.

Here are some of her illustrations (not including the notorious pigeon):

Like most creatives, Elsa and Tyler Lang were drawn to art early on, with Elsa inspired by her tropical upbringing in Colombia, and Tyler leaning on his artistic family background. The visual influences of Elsa’s upbringing are seen throughout her use of color and pattern, as well as her love of folk art and spicy foods. Tyler, on the other hand, spent his childhood amongst nature and wildlife in Vermont, with flora and fauna being constant themes in his work.

“I’ve been into art as long as I can remember,” said Tyler in an interview with The Great Discontent. “My dad’s side of the family is artistic—his aunt would create different handmade Christmas ornaments every year, and give one to us. One year, she bought an old, broken piano and tore it apart to make little creatures out of the piano keys. They were the coolest things.”

“There isn’t a lot of creativity on my mother’s side; they’re small-town farmers, and art is about the least important thing to them,” admitted Elsa. “That said, art and design has always been a part of that culture. Pre Columbian art is everywhere, though no one really sees it as art. It’s almost as if it’s just a part of the fabric of the country. I grew up exposed to it every day, but didn’t necessarily think it was special; it was just there, in the background. But as I get older, I can see that it was likely an influence.”

We’re glad they joined forces, proving that couples that design together, stay together. Here are some highlights from their Instagram page:

With a passion for everything creative, Magnaye found his calling in minimalism, drawn to digital artwork that uses clean lines and shapes. “When I was younger I used to do these really busy compositions, something I’d call a fiesta,” he says. “But now I’m more refined using basic shapes and bold colors.” But though his work relies on basic compositions, his art is anything but basic.

“It was during my junior year that I discovered illustration, or rather saw it in a new light,” he recalled. “I used to hang out and kill time in the libraries in between classes. Sometimes I’d have three-hour breaks and spend all of it looking at picture books. That’s when my love story with illustration began, and I  decided I’d like to pursue it as a career.”

He’s been hard at work since 2012 when he graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Communication from the University of the Philippines. And we’re almost certain we’re going to see more of him in the future.
