New Illustration / Silke Werzinger
December 9, 2011 | New Illustration | by Adam Turnbull 
|
I discovered Silke Werzinger’s work because we are signed with the same illustration agency. I love all of her work, especially her ballpoint pen drawings mixed with water colour and subtle pop culture references, all complimented with nice typography. Read more

Erika Taguchi-Newton, aka Raven Girl, is an illustrator par-excellence. Her paintings are soft and magical and her characters have such breathtaking stillness and beauty with their big, emotive eyes and open faces. You just have to sit and stare in wonder at the world she has created for you. Read more
New Illustration / Fight! a new comic by Jack Teagle
December 8, 2011 | New Illustration | by Jack Teagle |
When I’m not working on illustration work, I work on my paintings and comics. I try to paint as much as possible, I’m very interested in making bold, simple and striking imagery. I’m also currently working on a comic series set in the wrestling universe I created called Fight! Which is being released by Nobrow Press. I’m working on the second issue now.

New Illustration / Laure Fissore’s New York illustrations
December 7, 2011 | New Illustration | by Agnes Samour |
Moscow, China, Armenia, Finland. So many destinations that Laure Fissore, a young French illustrator, has elegantly drawn. Her latest book, New York, is full of posey with very realistic images of the Big Apple: a touch of colour here and there, the yellow cab, the wonder wheel, Chinatown. I am already transported.
New Illustration / Forming: a comic book by Jesse Moynihan
December 7, 2011 | New Illustration | by Jack Teagle |
I’ve been reading Jesse Moynihan’s comics online for a long time and I’m a big fan. He recently had his comic Forming collected and published by Nobrow Press. Finally being able to hold his work and seeing it all there in front of you makes you realise how make of a task he’s taken on in developing a unique story about how the Earth and its people were formed.
New Illustration / Fantastically strange comics by Fletcher Hanks
December 7, 2011 | New Illustration | by Jack Teagle |
Fantagraphics have released two books in the last few years of Fletcher Hank’s fantastically strange comics. His work was around in the early twentieth century and it’s brimming with personality and energy. The books bring together some amazing stories and I can’t recommend them enough. Prepare to have your mind blown.
New Illustration / Art on pencils by Ghost Patrol
December 7, 2011 | New Illustration | by Jack Teagle |
I had the chance to meet Ghost Patrol this summer and he’s a great chap. I love how he combines illustrative and narrative elements to his street art, and his fondness of folklore and nature really make his work stand out.
New Illustration / Adam Hilborn draws rapper Pharaohe Monche
December 6, 2011 | New Illustration | by Notes to Self |
Adam Hilborn has worked with everyone from Complex Magazine to Nike over the last few years. Browsing his newly updated site, we came across the best illustration ever to be seen of the rapper/singer Pharaohe Monche. He did it for an editorial for Pound Magazine. To be able to capture this much texture in a line drawing is incredibly hard. The way Pharaohe’s hair looks, even on his face, individual strands curve together to capture his goatee and eyebrows perfectly, while thicker short strokes create the trimmed looking moustache.

New Illustration / Conceptual portrait illustrations by Heather Rose
December 2, 2011 | New Illustration | by Heather Rose |
In the past, my conceptual portrait illustrations have been mostly inspired by music. But I’ve always been drawn to the things that most people turn away from, and I enjoy illustrating these subjects in a style that is both beautiful and occasionally disturbing. I have just begun a new series called Phobophilia, in which I take common fears and fetishize them. My work is often slightly erotic, and with this project, I plan to turn fear into something a bit more appealing.
New Illustration / Incredible drawings by 13 year old autistic boy
December 2, 2011 | New Illustration | by Heather Rose |
David Barth is a thirteen year-old boy with autism from the Netherlands. He has been drawing for his entire life, mostly incredibly detailed illustrations of animals. In his drawing, ‘birds’, there are almost 400 different species of birds. And he knows the Latin names of most of them.
New Illustration / Drawings by Robby Day
December 2, 2011 | New Illustration | by Gerry Mak |
Magical, mystical, crude-yet-intricate, Robby Day’s drawings glom onto my brain like forgotten forest spirits. Read more
Modern art meets otherworldly feel when Patrick Hruby lays down his imaginative silk screens. Glorious color penetrates with graphical precision and a slight trance-warmth sensation as pieces take on a personality and seem to stare right through.
Simple, colorful and somewhat esoteric, I really dig the work of New York illustrator, Rich Tu, a new SVA graduate student. It was something else to see his finely textured images blown up to poster size and beautifully displayed at the recent SVA student show. Read more

Located in the glorious Balearic Islands, just off the coast of Spain, this equally magnificent, 8,500 square foot Casa Son Vida villa was designed by the Dutch founder of Mooi, Marcel Wanders, in collaboration with the Hong Kong-based tecARCHITECTURE. Read more
Square America is a photo blog that’s sort of like Found magazine, but with more rhyme and reason. The eerie, antique photos are organized by theme, subject matter, and even the ways in which time or lens imperfections distort the images. Read more
Where would we be without synths and drum machines? Probably still listening to Grateful Dead jams in the alleyways of Height-Asbury. Done well, the remix is a wonderful thing. Case in point is Royksopp’s rendering of the Kings of Convenience track I Don’t Know What I Can Save You From. And then there’s Riton’s version of the Mystery Jets song, The Boy Who Ran Away. A White Lines for the 21st Century? I think so.

Ok, so superlatives aren’t really my thing but, damn … the Meet Lincoln t-shirt from emerging fashion label, Klaus Industries, is the coolest tee I’ve seen all year. Who would have thought that America’s finest would make such a striking print graphic. Read more

Pencils made from recycled newspaper
The problem with awesome things like these pencils made out of recycled newspaper is that you almost don’t want to use them.
