Cool Hunting
Says U.K.-based illustrator Imogen Slater on her work: "My first published illustration was a streaky black tree in felt tip, aged 11; that printed page, or the £5 book voucher prize, convinced me I could do nothing else. I had to forgo art college though to study at Cambridge—no Fine Art course there—and then onto Italy, to cling onto any skills in coffee, leaning and ice cream I have inherited from that side of my family. Back in the U.K. and some bad typing jobs later, I spontaneously designed myself a website which led to work painting interiors of bars and boardrooms, and artwork for Apple and Marie Claire. Hopefully it will also allow me to pursue an eternal aim—combining my obsessions of paper, scissors, and rock." It reminds us a little of the illustration work of Steven Wilson.

These Village Pillows by Brooklyn illustrator Rachael Cole are a set of cushions that work like a puzzle to build a country town, including houses, trees, a car, a horse, a dog and a duck. They paint a beautiful picture as a group and work just as nicely as individual pieces. What I like about the Village Pillows is that they're playful yet mature,...

We asked Brooklyn-based artist Kim Herbst to tell us about her distinctive illustration style. It's usually described as an organic looking graphic novel. Recently, I've had pieces accepted in CMYK Magazine and the Los Angeles Society of Illustrators. I hope to have a few short comics printed together in the near future as a mini-anthology involving origami. As a child, I always attempted to...
