A illustrator and fashion student, Niki Pilkington creates lovely drawings – highly skilled and finely crafted, creating a neat juxtaposition between their visual effect and stereotypically ditsy ‘fashionista’ subject matter and the humble medium of a blue Bic biro.
“I felt that using a ball point pen would keep the portrait simple and more about what [...]

Straight outta Nashville, here’s some amazing drawing from Chris Scarborough.
I’m loving the incredible detail, playfulness, and those cheeky grins in his human characters.
after dropping these into a post, i’ve just seen some more photography… which will be no doubt featured in a post super soon.

in one of his latest works, Matt has created a ball out consisting of 26.5km (or 250 rolls) of Gaffer tape.

Claire Scully graduated from Central Saint Martins in 2006 with an MA in Communication Design. since then she’s been working as freelance illustrator. I think she’s shit hot. Drawing lifelike birds isn’t exactly original, but then neither is most of the work out there. Claire’s brilliance, is in it’s subtlety.

Morgan Blair is an illustrator from Brooklyn, NY. and well, she sounds quite funny. apparently she’s focusing on advancing her interest in trees, legos and excellent music. Her ambitions for the present and future include adventure, survival, seeing magma and a real armadillo up close, and making art forever.
too cool for me.
