Love the illustrative stylings of Manchester’s Jonny Wan. Pleasingly symetrical and constructed of many interesting little shapes and forms that in turn have their own internal converations. His work has a 21st Century tribal feel to it. There’s loads on more his website if you have a moment. Wan is represented internationally by AgencyRush. Tw. @jonny_wan

Born in Bogotá, Colombia, Julian De Narvaez attended the National Art Institute IUNA, Buenos Aires. Among the recognition of his work was the first National Exhibition of Illustrations by the Colombian Chamber of Books in 2008. Since ’02 his work has appeared in various media publications both in his native Colombia, Mexico and further afield, commissioned by editorial and design agencies across England, United States and south America. His stunning craftmanship and control of depth, […]
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 […]
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!

Illustrator, typographer, designer, scarlet pimpernel, call him what you will but South African Jordan Metcalf‘s work is emminently cool. Previously featured in Codex: the Journal of Typography, TypeToken and Computer Arts, his is the sort of cool that creates a thoroughly enjoyable folio; not only his insanely amazing illustrated typography but also his character styling through to use of colour. Tw. @jordanmetcalf Do you have a great portfolio to share? Get in touch and share […]
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 […]
