Making the complex beautiful. It’s more or less as simple as that. Child of the eighties Liam Brazier‘s idiosyncratic style of geometric masterpieces encapsulate the accent of his generation; ie Star Wars, Marvel and cool shit. Surprisingly, when Brazier first started dabbling in the geometry ten years ago it developed out of method; obsessively scalping out tiny triangles of different colored paper and spray-mounting them onto board – a painfully lengthy process, no doubt. These […]

It’s difficult to know where to start with this guy, so let’s start at the beginning and see where we go… London illustrative bad boy Jimmy Turrell is a Central St Martins School of Art alumni. Articulated his own words… “he combines a love of handmade collage, drawing, screenprinting and painting alongside digital techniques. He’s presently very inspired by the Locussolus album, Hudson Mohawke, Thundercats, vintage 1930′s sowing manuals, Zdenek Ziegler and good old London […]

Awesome agencies / Illustrators

London based but most certainly Scandinavian through and through, the pair of Johanna Lundberg and Elin Svensson have established an agency where thoughtful ideas meet functional, purely simple design executions. Åh aim to both reach out to your head and your heart and from their own beautiful website to the work featured on it, we think they’ve achieved that. They’re also some pretty handy illustrators too!

Perhaps best described as a graphic artist, Mason McFee‘s work is all sorts of things to all sorts of people; I think you either love it straight away or become seduced by it’s charm over time and understanding. I personally love the bizarre but endearing darkness to his work; his style and the media he works with is mixed, but always equally absorbing. Best put in Mason’s own words; “While I struggle between being a […]

Andy (also known as “ardillustration”) is an Illustrator whose work focuses on the environment, the seasons, colour and pattern. He also produces lots of imagery based on poems and quotes, using humour and hidden detail to entertain the viewer. I really like this aspect of his portfolio, the rest of which can be seen at his website and his blog. Tw. @ardillustration

Illustrator slash typographer pimp Spencer Harrison has an embarrassment of award riches. His work has been both published and exhibited and he’s spent time around the illuminati by way of a placement at design demi-gods Pentagram. But enough preamble; behold, bask in the glory of oddly dark his world… Tw. @spenceroni

Welcome to the world of Yangmedia, or Oslo’s Edmond Yang. Delightfully executed photo/illustration surrealism in a beautifully balanced portfolio of treats. Tw. @edmondyang

Wow. Just, wow. Where do you start with this chap’s work? Fraser Davidson knows sports branding, and how. The work is a veritable smörgåsbord of beautifully crafted sports identies, including the recent Winnipeg Jets rebrand. His enviably accomplished work bears some of the finest identities of the genre.
