Sofie Hannibal and Nan Ha Hvass by Lost At E Minor
I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled across the intensely colorful work of Copenhagen illustration duo, Sofie Hannibal and Nan Na Hvass. I'm already a predisposed sucker for busy, vibrant work but Hannibal and Hvass' use of color and subtle narrative is impressive.
There are so many fantastic shapes and layers to soak up that I find myself staring at their works for a long time. I've yet to come across a piece on their website (and there's a whole lot there) that doesn't grab my attention.

Maija Louekari Illustrations
We loved Maija Louekari's hand-drawn illustrations even before discovering that she has worked as a freelance textile designer for Marimekko. Her HO-HOI! fabric topped the Textile Design category at the Elle International Design Awards in 2006. The Finnish illustrators work is made by hand, her favorite tools being fine felt tip pens, pencils, scissors and colored paper....

Rachael Cole Pillows
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,...

Illustrator Kim Herbst
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...

Ilustrator John Klassen
I’ve been admiring the work of Portland illustrator John Klassen for a while now. I’m irrepressibly drawn to his muted, textured landscapes, in all their mysterious glory. No coincidence then that a Coraline section should have recently appeared on his site. It just makes me want to see the movie even more....
