Jessica Fortner and her crazy, colourful world of illustrations

Date
10 May 2013

Insane detail and colour combinations make up Jessica Fortner’s work – an illustrator from Toronto, Canada. Jessica mainly produces visuals for children’s books and editorial and advertising for publications like The New York Times, Digital Arts and Juxtapoz. Whether it’s snakes or a giant igloo, there seems to be a mythical vibe to Jessica’s work that’s reminiscent of ancient civilisations (as with her totemic animal-themed piece for Wrap Magazine). Whether you’re mystically-inclined or otherwise you can’t deny the admirable time and effort channeled into making these wonderful creations.
