Spencer ‘Wislon’ Wilson updates his site for the new year with some fresh work.

Being able to turn around an editorial illustration on a tight deadline is a skill that shouldn’t be underestimated and this guy is one of the industry’s true professionals.

Work / Illustration Anja Wicki's sarcastically sweet comic illustrations

The work of Swiss illustrator Anja Wicki uses illustrative figures of ironic humour in saturated colour combinations, making her work to sarcastically sweet.

Work / Illustration Illustrator Jack Hudson takes on the world with The Earth and I book

Jack Hudson has art directed and created 86 illustrations for The Earth and I, a book of essays exploring everything on the planet. From the tiniest cells to the immense structures of our world, this epic tome features writings on all aspects of Earth by some of the most respected science writers, brought together by 97-year-old scientific visionary James Lovelock, and Jack had the not-so-small task of illustrating the entire thing cover to cover.

Work / Illustration Daria Tessler's bizarre screenprints are out of this world

Daria Tessler’s work is nothing if not weird. Using a combination of paint, pen and ink, Daria creates impressively detailed silkscreened scenes which together make up an alternate universe under the name Animalsleepstories. Mashing 60s and 70s inspired patterns and colours with slightly sinister folkloric elements, the artist depicts rooms, archeological ruins and whole towns floating galaxies filled with clouds and spotted with stars. Daria’s universe is populated by creatures which vary from mechanical looking tin-man robots to Studio Ghibli-esque totems and enormous scaly water snakes.

Work / Illustration Ella Webb's intricate topographical illustrations

The work of Camberwell graduate Ella Webb is enchanting in its nostalgia. Her intricate drawings of landscape diagrams are reminiscent of geography lessons. However, the designer’s work is filled with gems of details, elevating the illustrations to be far more interesting than they were during your GSCEs.
