New illustrations by Graham Roumeu

Eugenia Viti Reader Find

By Eugenia Viti in New Illustration on Tuesday 13 November 2012

News flash: hilarious illustrator Graham Roumeu has not stopped working. His humor is surprising and human and could be comparable with David Shirley. Some of my favorites by him include his Big Foot memoir books. If you want to laugh and find inspiration to think on a different level, Roumeu is your man.

By Robert Raimon Roy in New Illustration on Tuesday 13 November 2012

The felt-tip marker illustrations of Listen04 are childlike and paired with darkly humorous, Twitter-friendly wordplay. Traditional media with built-in social media integration? Genius.

Grotesque illustrations by James Unsworth

Callum Twigger Reader Find

By Callum Twigger in New Illustration on Tuesday 13 November 2012

A mutagenic R Crumb, James Unsworth’s art is scatological and venereal. A print-maker based in London who employs pen and ink, his drawings contort penises and breasts and sex toys into people and animals. Unsworth was raised ‘on a diet of Thrash Metal, Clive Barker, Stephen King and Video Nasties’, and he studied at the Royal Collage of Art, and his work is a Danteian vision of excess and depravity manifesting through decay, dismemberment, and excrement. Bless his work and soul. I feel nauseous.

New illustrations by Shauna Eve

Shauna Eve Reader Find

By Shauna Eve in New Illustration on Friday 2 November 2012

I draw confessions. Things I can’t or won’t say out loud find a voice on paper in the form of anamorphic avatars. A bit of a wanderer, my work has influences from living in the north, on the west coast, New York and Montreal. Horse headed women cavort with wasps that carry human teeth, while disembodied hands engage in an intimate clasping of beak and tongue, inviting the viewer to taste, to touch, to feel.

New illustrations by Suyumbike Guvenç

Caitlin Sullivan Reader Find

By Caitlin Sullivan in New Illustration on Friday 2 November 2012

Suyumbike Guvenç combines a sketchy illustration style of daunting colors and round-edged lines with collage, establishing a modern feeling in often almost tribal art. Whether the content is faces or melting plants, she’ll tempt you to count the endless lines used to cover each design.

Post-It Note drawings by John Kenn

Stuart McBratney Contributor

By Stuart McBratney in New Illustration on Thursday 25 October 2012

Next time you scribble ‘buy milk’ on a Post-It Note, you’ve just deprived John Kenn of a canvas. This Danish artist conjures creepy monster scenes worthy of a midnight movie marathon, all compacted into small yellow squares.

Julie Stubbs’s imaginative illustrations are detailed and full of personality. Her drawings range from book illustrations to branding and everything in between.

New illustrations by Lole

Alessandra Lemos Reader Find

By Alessandra Lemos in New Illustration on Tuesday 9 October 2012

The most important thing in my work is the conception of something truthful. Every drawing must represent a feeling or something that can communicate with others. My inspirations come from my experiences, music, movies and everything which is emotionally true.

New illustrations by Mattias Adolfsson

Nathan Marsh Reader Find

By Nathan Marsh in New Illustration on Tuesday 2 October 2012

Mattias Adolfsson is an illustrator who fills his small sketchbooks front to back, top to bottom with the density and life of a small world. His work is fastidiously detailed and populated by bulbous humans, clumsy good-natured creatures, and futuristic robots of twisty old machinery. On his Facebook you can see near daily progress shots as he pours down detail between faint pencil holding lines.

Viktor Timofeev’s gravity-defying architecture

Christopher Gideon Reader Find

By Christopher Gideon in New Art on Tuesday 2 October 2012

Viktor Timofeev is currently one of the most prolific young artists I’m aware of. Since discovering his work several years ago, I’ve kept a close eye on the countless dynamic and intriguing works pumped out from his conveyor-belt-style work ethic. From deconstructed-Q*bert-landscapes to type-gone-wild to gravity-defying-architecture-in-bondage, this guy can’t seem to hit the brakes. Nor should he.

New illustrations by Pink Paper Circus

Danielle Buerli Reader Find

By Danielle Buerli in New Illustration on Monday 17 September 2012

Pink Paper Circus’ illustrations are full of wonderful raw accidents and textures. I really enjoy the mixture of patterns with observational drawings. It reminds me of how fun sitting down with a paper and a box of new pencils can be.

New illustrations by Valeriya Volkova

Callum Twigger Reader Find

By Callum Twigger in New Illustration on Wednesday 12 September 2012

Valeriya Volkova’s art suggests magic is everywhere. Drawing on an East European sensibility, Volkova integrates the innocuous and the urban with colourful mythology: her art is the art of parable, complete with onion turrets, pine tress, babushkas, bogatyrs, seaside vacation towns, and beasts of folklore. Her vivid pastels and gentle linework disguise her keen eye for the small contradictions and absurdities of modern life. Based in Philadelphia, Volkova works principally in acrylic or watercolour.

New drawings by Scott Tulay

Scott Tulay Reader Find

By Scott Tulay in New Illustration on Tuesday 4 September 2012

These imagined, weightless, graphic geometries imply man-made structures, but dissolve when they reach the ground. Unbound by gravity, my drawings imply spatial relationships and connections, and yet upon further investigation, would be impossible to construct. They are rather constructed by an armature of light.
