Words by Alex Bec, Friday 25 March 2011

There’s nothing quite like a bit of line drawing to take us through a sunny Friday and on into the weekend. Kelsey Dake is a nib-wielder from New York and quite simply impressed my eyes with her recent illustrations for the ever reliable The Beliver.

Work / Illustration Stephanie Unger’s instinctive illustrations use bright colours and simple shapes

Illustrator and artist Stephanie Unger’s fun use of colour and peppy icons is an approach that’s stuck with her since she first started drawing. “My big sister is also creative and we would spend hours copying VHS covers or making up our own comic books to show each other,” says Stephanie. “My style is made up of things that have influenced me over the years and what naturally comes out on paper. It is playful and is built up of bold colours and simple shapes.”
