Jing Zhang is an illustrator, typographer and designer from southern China and currently living in trendy London. Her infographics are exceptional, and her experiments with 3D illustrated type are very powerful. I cannot express enough how inspiring her portfolio of work is, so visit her website or Behance to drool over the rest of her portfolio.

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.

Sam Vanallemeersch is an illustrator and graphic designer living in Belgium. He creates some wonderful imagery, full of shapes that overlap each other and slot together. This technique requires taking great colour when picking colours, as there is no linear separation between each segment. Clients include Random House, Nobrow Press and Monocle.

Polish fashion illustrator Olka Osadzinska is attracting a lot of big brands, and it’s easy to see why. Her edgy, punchy style is unashamedly brash, sexy and totally cool. This will make you look. And you might like it.

Esther Diana hails from Spain. Character design, background art, conceptual art, graphic design and traditional editorial illustration are all among her many talents. From vector to watercolours, she demonstrates what a powerhouse of a talent she is. As always, we have a small selection for you to glance over here at The Lounge, so please do click through to her website and see a lot more excellent work.

‘Rockheads’ is a stunning collection of minimalist portraits of musicians created using bold colours and vector graphics. Their creator Marc-Antoine Herrmann says about the work:

“Fifty rockstars – for the moment – a very personal choice, based on my tastes for artists who have – at least for me – something remarkable…from Arcade Fire to John Lennon and moving to Adele, REM, Chuck Berry, Jarvis Cocker, Oasis, Paul Weller, Serge Gainsbourg, Radiohead, Moby and the White Stripes…

ROCKHEADS is my way of depicting the musicians: sleek graphics and powerful colors. The minimalist line captures the essence of the personality of the artists. A look, a smile and sometimes a small reference to the history of the musician and you are eager to (re) explore the world and the songs of the artist. Harmonies of two or three colors echo the musical universe of the musician and give the designs an extra energy.”

Xavi is from Barcelona, Spain. He recently contacted The Lounge to tell us about his new works: a video game for children called ‘Monsters Band’ and a 3D illustrated book titles ‘Como dos Lunas Ilena’ (As Two Full Moons); doesn’t that sound fun? His vector graphics are well suited to children’s books, as well as editorial work. He is also an animator and creates artwork for games, multimedia and websites as well as advertising and merchandise. Visit his website for more.
