Linn Olofsdotter

'Perfume Flowers'
'Hotel Wonder Exhibition'

I saw some amazing illustrations by a Swedish illustrator Linn Olofsdotter in a few months old Plaza magazine. The first one here is an illustration she did for an article about fantasy flowers used in perfumes and the second one is for an internationnal furniture show in Milan where 44 illustrators were invited to illustrate a part of "the perfect hotel". This is her illustration for the perfect toilet. 
After getting a degree in advertising and graphic design in Europe she moved to Brazil and started a motion graphics studio with her husband. She has also worked as an art director at an advertising agency in Boston and is now working independently creating artwork for clients such as Levi's, Oilily, La Perla and Bon Magazine.

Hennie Haworth


Illustrations by Hennie Haworth! Her work has been published for example in Time Out, Bulb, Cent and Plan B magazines. She has also done work for Waitrose and Urban Fresh Fruit. She is probably not one of my favourite illustrators but I really like her sketchy, colourful style - even the type is always hand drawn. I also like the humour in her work. 
Check out her pen project!

Laura Laine illustration




Illustrator Laura Laine has an amazing way of drawing clothes and hair. She has recently done illustrations for example for the NY Times, Zara and Escada. A lot of her illustrations are of women with long flowing hair and interesting clothes and most of them are black and white. The women are very feminine. I love the contrast between the skinny and long legs and arms and big hair and clothes!

Allusion







Illustrations by Yellena James. I thought there was something very interesting about her style. Most of her illustrations are very abstract and you don't really know what they are about.. which is one of the reasons I like them. I wish I knew what was on her mind when she drew these. I love the details and different techniques she has used. More lovely stuff here.
