Hugues Mahoas is from France and works in the animation industry, with his background art standing out as a real strength along with his character design. I love the eerie quality in his work, and he has a special talent for picking colour combinations that are unusually brilliant. Visit his blog for more.

Swedish fashion illustrator Cassandra Rhodin has a really melancholy style; it’s almost Tim Burton meets Coco Chanel! I don’t believe Cassandra has a website, but you can view a lot of her work via the Agent Bauer website. Enjoy!

Fanny creates whimsical, melancholy illustrations as well as books and model making amongst other things. Her 3D work really stood out to me as something out of the ordinary. She is based in Hertfordshire, England. Online, you can find more of her interesting works here.
