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.

Alina is a freelance illustrator and architecture student from Romania. She uses photography, traditional and digital methods to create her work. Witty, provocative and intelligent, with visuals that’ll send you into a delightful frenzy; that’s how I’d describe her work in a sentence.

A short while ago I was introduced to a restaurant/diner called Meat Liquor. Upon entering the establishment I was taken back by the wall to wall decoration. Every inch of every surface was covered in collages and illustrations. I spent most of the time with my burger in hand and my mouth wide open just looking around in an attempt to take it all in. I made a note to self, “must find out who is responsible.” Imagine my delight when I found out it was none other than illustration and design supper-team ilovedust. Check out the making-of video above, it really is sterling to see their techniques and process. Keep up-to-date with more exciting project from ilovedust over on their blog.

Dan Hillier produces stunning victorian-influenced illustrations using a combination of collage and pen and ink. His illustrations, though absurd, are only a slight exaggeration of the gaudy idiosyncrasy of the victorians, and would probably have been equally popular at the time. His work has been exhibited in various galleries including the Saatchi Gallery and the ICA in London. To see more of his work head over to his website.
