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.

Florence Li is a Hong Kong-based artist. Her illustrations talk about struggle and she has an interesting perspective on having happiness and unhappiness at the same time. She raise a question about why we often start working on something with a passion but feel annoyed when we get used to it. This is the time that you start judging yourself and find that it is too late to get away.

Wow! Laura Bifano is an amazing artist who lives and works in Victoria, British Columbia. She has created a series of illustrations based on animals in their natural environments, with a digital feel. Her beautiful work couples the natural world with the digital age. The unique ‘pixilated’ look of her images is both unusual and intriguing – a modern take on nature. Gorgeous settings and interesting, lovely, yet distorted surreal wildlife.

Just released, The Family Hour is written and illustrated by prolific Melbourne artist, Tai Snaith. Using beautiful watercolour, pencil and gouache illustrations, Snaith has created modern mixed families of native Australian animals and sprinkled the pages with hidden clocks for the kids and design icons for the grown ups. The Gouldian Finch family have Marimekko-esque cushions in their nest and the Kangaroo mother shops for familiar labels in the supermarket.

Once someone told me that if I put a shell up to my ear I could hear the ocean. Well, what I really hear are whispers that gently depict stories and faces. What I really hear is far larger than the ocean: memories and nostalgic voices inspire lines and colors to draw highly detailed worlds bursting with objects and people.

The art of Jessica Ward is beautiful, macabre, and haunting but charming and all done with graphite on paper. Her female figures stare quietly, despondently, deformed and captivating.

Kim Jung-gi is a machine. And a very efficient one at that. Just take a look at the volume of work that he produces and the consistent high quality. It puts most of the rest of us to shame.

Originally from the UK, Forresters is now based in Abu Dhabi.
