With their pointed noses and wobbly limbs, the various characters Jeong Hwa Min creates strike a balance between the fun and the sinister. We really like the playful and surreal quality in Jeong’s screen prints and books, as well as the use of overlays and intense colours. Jeong’s pencil illustrations also capture a curious sense of fun and the unnerving in their larger, dreamy landscapes.

Dieter Braun caught our eye with his celebratory depiction of the 2012 games but we were happy to find his use of form and structure also put to good work exploring his love of the natural world.

Andrew Thompson’s love for working in his sketchbook with his trusted pens and pencils translates into an easy, fluid style, based in good drawing. Andrew, who works under the moniker of Sector 4, takes his drawings from the page and works colour into them digitally. But, the work on the computer doesn’t erase the pen-to-paper feel that we like. He tells us more about how he does it.

I’m very glad to show you the work of Hiroshima, Japan-based illustration group IC4DESIGN who make fascinating, lively and intricate illustrations for clients all over the world.
