Artists and Illustrators of whom I am extremely jealous-Antony Hare

Wow. I just found out about this guy today from Notcot.org.

Antony Hare. His black and white, or two tone illustrations are just breathtaking. I love the inky black color, and his hand-drawn typography.

Just fantastic stuff.

I completely understand the sentiment of the "bleeding pencils"

The Whopper, oh how it is aptly named.

Good job Antony.

Artists and Illustrators of whom I am extremely jealous-Heather Mattoon

Today when I was over looking at Nicole's Balchs blog "Makingitlovely.com" she posted this amazing collection of super neat paintings by Heather Mattoon...

All I can say is, Dang, those are some dapper looking felines. If you peruse through her Etsy account, she has some really sweet and fluffy paintings of birds. I love those too.

Good Job Heather.

What I want to know is, how did you get them to sit still in those outfits for so long? You are truly the cat whisperer Heather.

Jemma Salume-I love you

I feel like this every day.....

I wish, that one day, I could be as talented as Phil Noto. 

I am, as always in awe. I really recommend you follow his tumblr feed.

Artists and Illustrators of whom I am extremely jealous-Stephen Crowhurst

Just found this guy the other day on Notcot.org.

Stephen Crowhurst.

It looks like he's done work for Ford, Diesel, Zune, CB2 and more.

Here are some fantastic illustrations that are just lovely.

I can see this as a children's book illustration. There's something about Stephen's work that reminds me of Samurai Jack.

I could really love this is a print or a textile. Could you imagine a series of printed fabrics? I would totally buy it. I'm thinking......apron.

Stephen Crowhurst

I want this. It brings to mind 'I dream of Jeannie'.

Just lovely well crafted work. I hope to see more of Stephen Crowhurst's work going forward. I could see a partnership with Spoonflower the fabric digital printing company, or even a calendar of his work.

For today's little envy carnival, I have found Manuel Rebollo.

Well, first, TextureCulture found him, and then Cracked.com commissioned him for illustrations, and now, I would like all of you to see his work.

He has a blog that you should really visit, as well as a portfolio website.

Here's a guy I just found today from Drawn. Well, I could say I had found him a long time ago as he's contributed work to Playboy, Maxim, DC Comic and also created work for "Waltz with Bashir", a haunting and beautiful animated film. Many of his illustrations ring a bell with me, I can never quite place where I've seen them but they stick around in my memory.

His name is Tomer Hanuka.

This illustration makes me weep. It's about the lost city of Atlantis.

Tomer Hanuka

 I adore Star Wars. You had me at Dagoba Tomer.

 I hated this book "the life of Pi", but this illustration is spot on perfect. I might read the illustrated version if Tomer does the lions share of it.

Tomer Hanuka

 Playboy illustration. I swear I only read it for the articles.

Tomer Hanuka

Tomer and Asaf Hanuka

So Tomer  is also a twin, and his twin brother Asaf is also an illustrator. oh Lordy.

Good work, both of you.
