Liam Brazier is a London based freelance illustrator and animator.  Much of his work is great, but I am especially fond of these superhero and science fiction characters. Brazier is currently working to complete a new Star Wars illustration every week until The Force Awakens is released in theaters.

I guess I am on a toy kick. Maybe it is all of the superhero movies that are out this summer. Anyway, these superhero logos are created by Alex Litovka.

Here are some beautiful, energetic illustrations by Evgeny Parfenov.  You may have seen his work before in magazines like Wired, Rolling Stone or Newsweek. Parfenov uses vivid shapes and sometimes bold, energetic line to illustrate his subject.

Sandra Dieckmann melds color, texture and pattern beautifully into to each of her illustrations. I especially enjoy how well she mixes organic textures and geometric shapes each piece.

Most of Anna Garforth’s artwork is created from materials not usually selected for making art.  Food, moss, trash, etc. are used to bring her projects to life.  The first work that caught my eye was the moss works, but I also enjoy her other art as well.

As 2011 ends and we begin 2012, I want to reflect on the most read post of the last year. Here is a collection of the 20 most read posts written in 2011.

I recently found these interesting sketches by Cem Bilge on Google+. I really enjoy how each piece is a comfortable blend of traditional drawing and digital illustration.

Alvaro Tapia Hidalgo has some of the most amazing illustration that I have seen in a while.  These illustrations deliver vivid color and gorgeous textures with a touch of dark “They Live” quirkiness.

These wonderful illustrations are by Pawel. I really enjoy how he allows his sense of humor shine in his artwork.
