Isabel Seliger was born in Germany, 1984. She studied Illustration and Comics at the School of Art & Design Kassel and she is now taking commissions. Her work can be quite intricate and a little abstract at times, and she tackles some interesting topics in her work (dwarf portraits intrigued me…) She has been interviewed over at Light Grey Art Lab, if you’d like to read a little more about her.

I stumbled upon Justin’s blog today (and I think I looked through every page). He is currently working at Disney Studios, and he also creates a lot of fun illustrated work in his spare time. I really like his background art, which is simple, yet beautiful. You’ll also find on his blog some comic strips, character design, illustrated skateboards and the list goes on. Super talent, and extremely inspiring.

Note: Interestingly, we previously featured Justin’s brother Josh on The Lounge.

Illustrator and comic creator Timothy Weaver hails from North Carolina. A graduate from East Carolina University, he is one of the many amazing collaborators of Josh Tierney’s comic Spera. Mr. Weaver has great brush work that reminds me very much of Paul Pope’s style (never a bad thing, in my opinion). You can find more of his work on his website.

Wischnik was born in Wolgast, and now lives and works in Berlin, Germany. His website portfolio is a must-see. It’s full of all sorts of styles and mediums, including vector, animation, collage, traditional inked illustration, digital illustration and even a great little comic strip simply titled ‘Oh’. You can definitely see that this is someone who enjoys their work. And I enjoyed it too.

Tyler Parker is an illustrator based in Seattle Washington, USA. He has had four children’s books published by MeeGenius (find links to them all here). Tyler’s signature style combines a cut-out style with vibrant colours using simple shapes. His clients include Giant Robot, American Greeting and VT Kids.

Kirsten Rothbart studies Illustration and Comic Art at the School of Art and Design Kassel in Germany. Her illustrations and short comics serve up some beautiful, colourful inks and unconventionally square-jawed characters that really come together well. I look forward to seeing more of her work, and wonder what subject matter she’ll tackle in her comics…Visit her Behance page, or alternatively her Tumblr.

Joshua Middleton’s career began in the comic book industry, with his clean-cut style attracting several major comic book publishers including DC, Marvel, Dark Horse and Image. He later went on to work in television animation and feature films for companies such as Warner Brothers, Nickelodeon, Universal and Sony Pictures Animation. Joshua is also one hell of a book cover artist…see more on his website.
