Maguma
MaGUMa’s style will remind you of classic mid-20th century illustration work done in pastel or gouache, and sometimes it looks like a silkscreen print saturated with ink. He strives to give the work a tactile quality, inviting the viewer to try and touch it to feel the texture. Strong concepts and colours are also prevalent in his pictures.

Chrissy Lau
Tumblr media
Chrissy’s work is full of detailed patterns and intricate line work, and often includes a lot of hair. The black and white line work is brought to life with a dash of red or gold. Her Chinese heritage inspires her, but there’s also a twist of surrealism, and quirkiness. Some colour – usually red or gold - rounds off the image.

Bill Greenhead
It was 1987. Bill Greenhead was sitting there working at Pizzaz, an animation studio. He was doing the in-betweening – drawing the cells in between key frames created by a lead animator – for a shot featuring a dancing musical note. “A monkey could do this,” he thought. Meanwhile, the soundtrack to The Singing Detective was playing and Bing Crosby was singing, “Don’t mess with the in-between.”

Belgian artist Steven Van Hasten grew up in Courtrai, an ancient commercial town in West Flanders. He drew and painted on everything as a child, and created his first illustrated story – about a knight - at the age of six. His parents knew he’d grow up to be an artist.

Each week he and some friends practice life drawing with a nude model.

Sam Bevington
Tumblr media
Sam often turns inanimate objects into little characters by adding arms, legs and faces to them, and also uses bold, catchy slogans in many of his illustrations. A warn and weathered feel, screenprinting, halftones and other lo-fi effects also come into play. Flat colours and a reduced palette give his pictures extra pop.

Gail Armstrong
Tumblr media
Gail Armstrong has been creating paper sculptures for over 20 years and her enthusiasm for the medium hasn’t waned one snip. She still wants every image she creates to be better than the last, and this approach has led to plenty of awards, including a Cannes Gold Lion for her Kleenex campaign. She finds inspiration in contemporary art and, not surprisingly, the huge Paperchase outlet on Tottenham Court Road in London.
