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.

There’s something about Jean-Luc Navette’s work that is timeless. His black-and white 2D illustrations are balanced with intricate, tangible textures, and he has a way of retro-izing everything: his images make even recognizable modern characters into 1800′s versions perhaps imaginable in a Roald Dahl story. Through all his work, both tattoos and paper-based, his style holds a feeling of originality – no matter how many mustached men and skeletons he draws.

Anamorphic art, when done right, always wows us. Dutch artist Ramon Bruin makes anamorphic 3D illustrations of snakes, creepy-crawlies, feathers and more, then makes them come even more alive by pulling them out of the damn paper with his fingers. Pretty fun.

Twenthy-something Turkish illustrator Kaan Bağcı has recently created these ‘çapasuntra board’ drawings that merge geometric dimensions with merticulously sketched animals. These resemble scientific drawings and are stunning in a sort of timeless way.

What’s funnier than a cat head on a human body? Well, probably many things, but that doesn’t mean it’s not funny anyway. At Captain Feline, to produce our t-shirts, we throw a human body and a cat head into The Anthropomorphizer, a monstrous design device patented in the 1920s.

Richey Beckett’s mystical and evocative pen and ink drawings blend often dark occult imagery with an affinity for nature. The flowing and otherworldly style in these pieces is beautiful and unique.

Mozneko is an illustrator from Sapporo-shi, in Japan. All of his works are pretty cute and seem to be inspired by innocent drawings of children. If I had a fairytale book to illustrate, I’d want him to do the job.

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.

Study Group Comic Books is an independent publisher that’s gathered together some remarkable sequential artists. While they put out a printed anthology, all of the work is made freely available to read, most updated page by page on a weekly basis. Among my favorites are Levon Jihanian’s stylish fantasy adventure Danger County, Adian Koch’s ephemeral and gorgeously sparse The Blonde Woman, and Julia Gfrörer’s dark tale of a man lost at sea, Black is the Color.

American artist and author, Molly Crabapple, took part in the one-year anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street Movement last week which saw Lower Manhattan once again transformed into a city under siege. Crabapple was ‘inspired to see people care passionately about inequality issues’ and rallied with thousands of other protesters. Like many, Molly was arrested and held for 10 hours in a prison cell. ‘Getting arrested for a social protest is like being put through aversion therapy’, she noted. She has since produced illustrations describing the experience, including her arrest, and promoting the ethos of the movement that has won her over. ‘I would protest again’, she says.

I’d seen this guy’s illustrations before and then I found out he was going to do one of me, so was pretty made up. His style is so cool and he has worked for many great mags and brands already.

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.

Illustration has been part of my life for ever in one way or another: drawing at school at the end of the notebook, working or just painting every wall I could. When I draw, I feel like I leave a small part of me in that drawing, because an image is worth more that words. My most recent project is called Good Girls and it consists of five illustration of five different women I once met, including myself. Every one of them is viewed as a bad girl as a consequence of their actions, but if anyone would get to know them, they would realize that they are good girls inside. People tend to judge other people really quickly, without giving them a chance. My illustrations want to send a message, to make you think twice before giving someone a label.
