Wonderfully resonant new work from illustrator Cynthia Kittler

You can do a lot in a year, I’m told, and proof if any was needed comes in the form of Cynthia Kittler. Just last year we listed her as one of our Students of the Month for her “kind, quiet illustration,” and checking by her website again this year I found that not only is she no longer a student, but she’s being regularly commissioned by the likes of The New York Times and Die Zeit magazine for editorial illustration which is not only as quiet and kind as it was last time we checked in, but also incredibly resonant now.

Combining vibrant colour with textures that can only have been created by hand, Cynthia has moulded a unique aesthetic that’s communicative, malleable and really nice to look at. No wonder the commissions have been flying in.
