Andreas rarely puts a foot wrong in the squishy ‘charmed’ bit of my brain. His site makes the corners of my mouth turn with every little addition, and my thirst for block coloured naivety has been well and truly quenched with his latest.

Work / Illustration Minju An's oddly sinister illustrations depict strange characters and floating bread

Brooklyn-based illustrator Minju An was put on a path towards illustration after being inspired by the animations and comic books she read as a kid. “Illustrations do not have any limitations. I can draw and express whatever I want and it doesn’t need to be serious or complex,” she explains. “I feel like I’m really playing with illustration.”

Work / Illustration Karifurav Caihua’s weirdly erotic Japanese-inspired illustrations

Thank god for Instagram: it’s where we found Karifurav Caihua, a mysteriously ungoogleable freelance currently working across illustration, graphic design, murals and print. Karifurav’s multi-coloured illustrations border on the grotesque (with a liberal sprinkling of serpent heads and decapitation). Sex drips across Karifurav’s canvasses visualised in penis noses or women with countless breasts.

Work / Illustration Alex Norris’ hilarious three-panelled webcomics are universally appealing

Alex Norris’ daily web comic series Webcomic Names sees the adventures of a “badly drawn blob” character play out through cliched, relatable gags, all ending with “oh no”. The series was inspired by another project called Dorris McComics, a webcomic series Alex used to labour over. “For April Fools one year, I posted eight comics as I joked that Dorris McComics was becoming an extremely relatable and share-able, with eight updates every day. I really enjoyed making them and they went down a storm, so a few years later I decided they would be fun as a daily comic series,” he explains.
