Jodie and David have been working under the name of Peskimo since 2004. Since they started working together, the duo have created a series of toys for Kid Robot, their creations have appeared on t-shirts, billboards, in newspapers, magazines and more. Thier fun and friendly style has won over big clients such as Sony, Barclays, MTV, BBC and Vodafone.

Peskimo contacted us a short while ago to tell us about their ‘Special Brews’ prints.

“We have just launched a new set of fine art screenprints featuring illustrations of 4 different tea varieties. They all feature animals / creatures and the prints are hand printed in 4 and 6 colours. We are fascinated by vintage packaging and we thought that the range of tea varieties a great world in which to explore this.”

They look great, so thanks for getting in touch!

Dima Je is a designer/illustrator based in Moscow, Russia. His illustrations feature in much of his designs, including packaging, invitations, posters and more. He uses letterpress, vector art and I believe also screen printing. Everything on his Behance portfolio looks amazing, but you can also see plenty more on his Dribbble page.

Eric’s visual style mixes bright colours, simple shapes, gritty textures and bold typography. His screen-printed gig posters are absolutely stunning, well worth the simple click over to his ‘Doe Eyed’ website, where you’ll also find some nice branding, illustrations, t-shirts and more.

“Doe Eyed is a design studio that knows a thing or two about simple shapes, fuzzy textures, bright colors, patterns that make your eyes vibrate, bad jokes, and the occasional dirty drawing.”

Head on over!

Rock, rebels and angst seems to summarise the subjects of German illustrator Kirsten Rothbart. Her work feels very raw and energetic, her lines look as if they were done in one go, and her colour treatment give her illustrations a bygone feel. Also, I have to express my appreciation of her spectacularly exaggerated angular chins. You can find more of Kirsten Rothbart’s work on her tumblr.

Editorial illustrator Vahram Muradyan’s portfolio is filled with the illustration equivalent of one-liners. His work is conceptual but the statement is very clear. His style, often limited in colours, imitates old school printing techniques such as screen and woodcut printing, which help to add a little movement to his pieces. You can see more of Muradyan’s work on his website.

In 2008 Iro Tsavala graduated with an MA in Communication Art & Design from London’s Royal College of Art. Since then, she has combined freelancing and lecturing. Iro is a brilliantly creative and intelligent person who lives and breathes a certain style and it comes through in her work. She is a hands-on illustrator, using a mixture of techniques such as screen printing and collage. This approach, accompanied with her unique style gives her work an identity which is recognisable as her own. She also creates some wonderful ‘creatures’, an ongoing series of one-off soft toys. Being a very good friend of mine, she is currently making one for my new born son (and I can’t wait to see the result!)

Her clients include The Guardian, Laurence King and YCN.

Hadar Geva’s illustrations are rather appealing; there’s an interesting blend of fresh and friendly colours with gritty, dirty textures. Visit Hadar’s website to see a really nice selection of work from children’s’ books to t-shirts and branding.
