Once, I was ambivalent about illustration. I studied figure drawing at University, I found it extremely dull to draw the the unattractive man modelling in the nude. My discovery of less realistic styled illustration has changed my views on the art. I am now love, love, loving it.
I have bought some to hang on my walls from local artist Carl Harris aka "Cat Boy", I keep buying books by Alice Melvin for my daughter ( I wish she had more), and I hoping to collaborate with some for future fabric collections.
Here are some of my favorite illustrators. Enjoy. Top to bottom: Carl Harris, Chris Houghton, Harriet Russell, Andrew Bannecker, Andrew Foster, and Alice Melvin.
