Schoolism teacher Jason Seiler is an award winning artist with a humorous style and sound technique. His portraits capture ‘that special something’ which makes them intriguing and engaging. Jason’s clients make for an impressive list and include Time Magazine, Penguin Group, Rolling Stone and The New York Times. To see more visit his excellent website and his agent’s, Richard Solomon. I love that Susan Boyle piece!

Anne Lück is an illustrator from Germany and currently lives in Berlin. She uses thin lines and contrasting colours to great effect in her work. I was impressed to find she had her own Wikipedia page, and she also has a lovely website. If you’d like to find out a bit more about her, she has been interviewed on Design made in Germany.

Clients include Adidas, Time, Cosmopolitan and The Bavarian State Forestry.

This spectacular work is from Sweden-born illustrator Daniel Egnéus. In his short professional career, Mr. Egnéus has worked with some large clients such as Penguin Books, Pepsi Cola, Marie Claire, Time Magazine and BMW. More impressive then his list of client is that in March 2005 Daniel Egnéus was voted “best illustrator” by the Association of Illustrators UK.

At his point I would normally go on to share my interpretation of his illustrations, but I feel I cannot top the words already said on his website:

“Lucid, dreamy and vibrant illustrations reflect the enticing inner world of highly regarded artist, Daniel Egnéus. With no formal education except for life itself, Daniel sees everyday life and art as one inseparable whole. His work is an expression of his colorful and rich life in Milano and Rome, filled with friends and a wonderful girlfriend, and not least his daydreaming, which finds its way into his work, inspiring us with it’s beauty and depth.”

I’m digging the witty, retro style of Anthony Freda, and I’m not the only one; he has been commissioned by Time magazine, The New Yorker, Rolling Stone and loads of other big names in publishing. See more of his work on his website.
