I don't think I've ever shared Andrew Holder's work on here before, but I've been an admirer for a long time. I would die to get my grubby little fingers on one of his screen prints. Here are a few of my favorite illustrations:

Does someone in your studio use one of these typefaces? Does it make your typographically sensitive skin crawl? You can help. Order this poster and make your hack designing colleague take this pledge and sign it. Preferably in their own blood. Hell, you might be an offender and need to sign one yourself. Make a difference. Do it today.

Saligia is Latin for the 7 Deadly Sins and Johnny Slogan aka Thomas Von Staffeldt may have committed a few with his reinterpretation of Arne Jacobsen's Series 7 chair. But really, they're actually very well done and an achievement in design in and of themselves. Here are a few of my favorite, including "Avaritia/Greed" where all that's left are the little protective nubs.
From left to right: Invidia (envy), Superbia (pride), Avaritia (greed), Gula (gluttony)
The chairs are for auction here.

Karen Taggar is an illustrator.
And I like her drawings.
More about Karen:
I recently graduated with honors from the “Bezalel Academy of Art and Design” in Jerusalem, Israel. I specialized in illustration.
My two passions in life are drawing and reading, so finding
that such a thing as “illustration” existed was a complete joy.
I love making sequences of images that create a story, I love
trying to draw thoughts and feelings - things that are
“un-drawable”, I also love drawing from life, and especially
love it when i find people somehow understand what i do.
I live in Tel Aviv, my favorite city, with my favorite man
and my two favorite cats…

Ms. Ebony Ellerslie is an illustrator currently based in Australia whose work I find rather pleasing to the eye.

Ebony Ellerslie is fueled by a love of drawing, particularly drawing from life. She has worked for InStyle Magazine and the Australian Financial Review, and has picked up awards such as The National Gallery of Victoria Society Award, The Roger Kemp Memorial Prize, and the Nikon/Salon Centre for Contemporary Photography award. As a child she had a fear of bipedal wolves. She favours the quiet, slow, old and handmade, and if she was a biscuit she would be made with condensed milk somehow. Her favourite word is ‘gulab jamun.’
Ebony Ellerslie is represented by The Jacky Winter Group.
