Owen Gildersleeve

Owen Gildersleeve

It’s been a while since I featured the intricate paper workings of Owen Gildersleeve, but it seems he’s had a bunch of work added to his sight since. I’m really glad to see he hasn’t lost any of the fun to his work.

Morgan Jones aka Phunky Venom is a designer and illustrator from Birmingham with a pretty fresh portfolio. Really love his simple yet playful style.
Yee Ting Kuit

Yee Ting Kuit

I have really been enjoying the minimal, retro style of illustrations of Yee Ting Kuit as of late. I’m sure a few of her illustrations would make an awesome Threadless t-shirt.

Birmingham based Sweaty Eskimo hit up with an update of fresh work, and by the looks of it he’s been a busy boy!
Dines

Dines

Bright, sexy and fun; that’s just the website. You could do a lot worse than to skip on over to London based illustrator Dines website on a Wednesday afternoon.

Bionic Systems

Bionic Systems

Bionic Systems are an amazing multi-disciplinary studio based in Düsseldorf, Germany. To say their portfolio is vast is an understatement. It will take you a while to look around but it’s well worth it.

I’m loving the clean, minimal and humorous illustrations of Robbie Porter. I can see this guys work being used lots for editorial work and fashion. Threadless anyone?

Walter Newton

Walter Newton

After receiving an email from my local print studio I thought I’d scour the mailing list to see if I recognized any other members. Although I didn’t find anyone I knew, I found the very comical work of Walter Newton. Maybe I might see him around!
Marek Haiduk

Marek Haiduk

Marek Haiduk is an illustrator from Vienna that uses collage to great effect. I really love his more technical illustrations. They make me feel like I’m stuck in a 1960′s sci-fi flick.

Mezzetty Update

I’m a little late off the mark with this one, but Birmingham based Mezzetty has updated his site with lots more surreal, other worldly portraits.
Yolo

Yolo

As I’m from a generation of designers that were for a big part inspired by the work of the Designers Republic, it’s no surprise to me that the work of Manchester based Martin Fewell aka Yolo really floats my boat. There’s still something extremely alluring to that big, bold design style, pixels mutilated into a...
Ashleigh Barron

Ashleigh Barron

Ashleigh Barron is a second year student at Manchester Metropolitan. Her work is visually striking and has a very playful streak. All this is held together with a strong typographic sensibility. I love her rather colourful poster for Volta (second picture).
