Work / Illustration Olimpia Zagnoli illustrates How to Eat Spaghetti Like a Lady

In Time Life magazine in 1942, a series of photographs by Alfred Eisenstaedt was published as a tutorial for women, teaching how to elegantly consume spaghetti “like a lady”. The step-by-step guide featured portraits of a coiffured model determinedly twirling the strands of pasta on her spoon and, eventually, eating it in a dignified fashion.

Work / Illustration Illustrator Antoine Cossé talks about the highs and lows of creating comic books

Paris-born illustrator and cartoonist Antoine Cossé uses a mix of ink, watercolour, markers and pencil to create his delicate, fine line drawings. “My influences started with Herge, Crumb, then Chris Ware,” Antoine says. “I like reading a lot too. I also look at photography, cinema and architecture – I pick a lot from dreams too.”

Work / Illustration Seattle-based illustrator Kelly Bjork depicts languid ladies and neat interiors

Seattle-based illustrator and artist Kelly Bjork’s work aims to balance “simple elements with small areas of detail”, finding comfort in the uncomplicated, which is “seemingly harder to find in real life”. Kelly started her career creating commissioned portraits, which led to her going freelance and becoming one half of stationary and gift company Pilgrim Paper Co. with fellow creative Teresa Grassechi. The job sees her illustrating greeting cards, a “dream job since childhood” for Kelly.

Work / Illustration Illustrator David McMillan's busy but balanced editorial work

“My work was once described as organised chaos, which I think sums it up quite nicely,” says Northern Irish illustrator David McMillan, and we couldn’t agree more. David’s work shows illustration at its busiest, but remains balanced with his use of shape and composition.
