From November to September I set aside all of the creepiest, most disturbing art I come across in anticipation of October, then dedicate all 31 days of the month to an onslaught of dark creativity. Today we’re kicking things off with the illustrations of Miles Johnston whose “surrealism realism” will make you do a double-take.
Charlotte Chauvin‘s – aka Cha Coco‘s – simple line drawings run the gamut from shy and sweet to sexy and risqué. My favorite recurring subject matter are the human hands she favors and illustrates in a myriad of ways.
I’ve already said goodbye to a few of my annuals from summer and am thinking ahead to mums and pumpkins, so you could say botanicals are on my mind. Irene Laschi is an Italian artist who specializes in scientific illustration, and her captures of flora are detailed and starkly beautiful.
Stina Persson‘s bright, bold, occasionally unruly work can be seen in fashion magazines, galleries, and advertising campaigns the world over. I love the way she manages to coax specific details from what could otherwise be considered a very abstract style of work.
Karnn Bhullar is a Bristol, England-based illustrator who has never met a color he didn’t like. While he does show a penchant for pink, it’s apparent Bhullar uses every hue of the rainbow throughout his body of paintings and digital illustrations.
Freelance illustrator and artist Marta Zafra has a very diverse body of work, her art both familiar yet unique in its portrayal of the everyday. The familiar is often transformed into the bizarre, the past often revisited, and the real made unreal.
UK-based illustrator Rob Bailey‘s art is as lovely to look at as it is flat, which is to say very. Most pieces rely heavily upon great shapes and color choices that will pick up the slack from lack of details.
Chicago-based graphic designer and illustrator Irina Kruglova is known for her strikingly colorful illustrations that focus on minimalism and precision. Inspired by modern culture, nature, and simple objects with great patterns and textures, Kruglova’s view of the world is lovely to behold.
