The work of 25-year-old German illustrator Valentin Fischer will no doubt remind you of the work of James Jean and Sam Weber but that doesn’t take away from the fact that it is still very well executed. Regardless of the influence, I am still a big fan of this style and with the amount of talent required to achieve it Fischer definitely has some potential to make some beautiful work.
Amsterdam-based digital agency Momkai has worked for some big-named clients. It is easy to see why just by the slick presentation of their work alone. They have some excellent examples of digital design in their portfolio and browsing it is a joy in and of itself.
Illustrator Therese Larsson creates some beautiful illustrations using everything from pastels to Photoshop. The tactility of the imagery, regardless of the method of production is never lost and each piece manages to stand on it’s own.
Illustrator Sam Gilbey has been steadily improving over the years and has managed to merge a digital approach with an analogue tactility. He is also a master at self promotion and makes sure he never manages to drop off the radar. Hence his new website complete with some new work. There is a lot to be said for being able to manage both the workflow and the self promotion and he does it with style.
Portuguese (sorry I thought he was Brazilian but João corrected me) graphic designer João Oliveira sent an email today letting us know he has updated his portfolio with some new work. Some people don’t dig the more densely layered and colorful digital work, but I think he is one of the best at what he does and I have always been a big fan of his work.
Illustrator Kervin Brisseaux has been busy updating with some really kinetic and colorful imagery. Call it electro-dimensional if you will.
Designer and illustrator David Mascha sent in a link to his portfolio tonight. He has updated with both a new website and new work. The website is about as smooth and no frills as a Flash site can get. It’s function first, showcasing his unique digital illustration work with a modern contemporary flair that really sets off his style. His illustration work is a lot of fun to look at but he also has some nice typography work happening in his portfolio that serves as an extra bonus. Good work.
Master illustrator (and one of my all time favs) Sam Weber has updated with a new website and some striking new work.
The creative work of David Benjamin Sherry is somewhat indescribable. It’s a fascinating mishmash of photography, psychedelia and surrealism. The end result is that each image is unique in the experience it offers the viewer to partake in.
John Fan has some slick work for motion in recently updated portfolio.
Art Director/digital collage artist, Alejandro Chavetta has updated his website with more of his unique collage/illustration work.
Tabor Robak isn’t afraid to dive headlong into the skullzone and crank those glow filters and that’s just fine by me. Make it metal and make it shine. Be sure to get up on that sketchbook action too (some fun stuff in there).
Philadelphia-based Rob Shields, generates flashy, vibrant and attractive photography-based digital illustrations.
Talented image maker, Sakke Soini has updated with a few new pieces in his Behance-folio.
Talented illustrator, Andy Potts has updated with a new website featuring loads of his slick illustration work. The highlight to me though is the personal section of the site.
Illustrator Sam Gilbey has been in touch with me on and off over the last few years and he sent word today that his portfolio has once again been updated with his unique brand of illustration style. Sam has been hard at work for a long time now and that experience shows through his craftsmanship.
Ben Thomas is a young digital artist and photographer from England. Although Flashy websites that start right off playing music make me want to headbutt my computer monitor (sorry it’s a personal preference), he has some undeniably technically complex digital illustration work in his work that merits a browse through.
