Mucha is one of the artists i have always admired since long time ago. The palette color he used, the organic shapes and the importance he gave to the line made me admire his artwork.
In this link, you can check part of Mucha´s artwork

Gordana Ivkovic is a great children illustrator. It is great how she uses the exaggeration of forms and perspectives to create her figures and make them be more visually attractive and dynamic while giving them her personal touch. I really like her interpretation and distortion of the figures, but still making them being understood as what they are, either humans, animals or other kind of figures.. Also with the use of color and the texture she gives to the illustrations as if the figures were in a dream is what make me be interesting to her work

Theodor Seuss Geisel was an American writer and cartoonist most widely known for his children's books written under the pen names Dr. Seuss, Theo. LeSieg and, in one case, Rosetta Stone, as it is written in Wikipedia. The Cat in the Hat is his most famous book.
The use of line in all of his illustrations is very important which with it he creates a little bit of depth in each character, creating shadows. Also, the use of bright and flat colors and flat backgrounds predominating the composition plus the personal character the illustrator put on them, always under the same visual style, make this illustrations have their own personality and that is showed to the public. The happy faces of the characters make them very attractive for kids.

I'm very attracted to child books because of how line is used and the colors and the fantasy atmosphere that is in them. Also, I like that the bodies, the objects and everything else are not drawn extremely real, with real proportions which gives that atmosphere of a dream that i like.

Robert Ryan






This is the website of Robert Ryan: http://www.misterrob.co.uk/



Robert Ryan is a designer/illustrator from UK that started working in printmaking, screenprinting and painting and whose whose more recent work consist pretty much in cut out of paper making illustrations and patterns with it.

His illustrations have a modern style and what it is very impressive is how much detail they he add in each illustration being just made by cutting and removing paper. His work is simply amazing!!
Even though he add much detail into the cutting, the figures are just silhouettes and the illustrations have a minimalist feeling that appeal to me (minimal forms, minimal color). Also I like the rough edges and homemade feeling his illustrations have.

He has worked for many clients, such as Vogue, Paul Smith, LG Electronics, Quicksilver, Mute Records and Liberty’s of London.

(Some of the images i show are screen printings)

Adrian Johnson









This is some of the work of Adrian Johnson, a UK illustrator and designer whose contemporary and fun style has made him work with clients such as Adidas, Mastercard, Vodafone, The Economist, Volkswagen, Sony, among others.
He is very versatile artist, doing editorial design, print, motion, besides do his own self-initiated projects.

His work is a combination of a strong concept with a childish, colorful and charming style, which make his work be on trend all the time, no matter what other styles are on trend. His illustrations are fun, bold and takes everybody's attention with his particular use of bright colors and the non use of depth. His illustrations are flat overall, what make me being more attracted.
