Stuart Kolakovic
Stuart Kolakovic is one of my favorite illustrators. I love his stories, characters, colors, details. He makes me dream, his illos are like songs of The Decemberists.

Christoph Niemann
Fact – Christoph Niemann is a genious. Super witty. And I was so happy to discover that he has a blog at New York Times and once in a while post there his illustrated stories, every one of which is a masterpiece.
And more and more at his blog at NY Times
Queen Alice and the Leg of Mutton
“You look a little shy; let me introduce you to that leg of mutton,” said the Red Queen. “Alice — Mutton; Mutton — Alice.” The leg of mutton got up in the dish and made a little bow to Alice…
Red Knight
At this moment her thoughts were interrupted by a loud shouting of “Ahoy! Ahoy! Check!” and a Knight, dressed in crimson armour, came galloping down upon her, brandishing a great club. just as he reached her, the horse stopped suddenly: “You’re my prisoner!” the Knight cried, as he tumbled off his horse.
The Walrus and the Carpenter
The Walrus and the Carpenter
Walked on a mile or so,
And then they rested on a rock
Conveniently low:
And all the little Oysters stood
And waited in a row.
Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Next series of illustrations are from the second book about Alice Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There.
Tweedledum and Tweedledee (Rus. Траляля и Труляля)
“Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Agreed to have a battle;
For Tweedledum said Tweedledee
Had spoiled his nice new rattle.”

White Rabbit
Back in the art school I had a brief for series of illustrations on Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. I’ve done 5 images in a style that was new for me. And since then I always had a desire to extend the series, but never had time and an impulse to start. So now time it is.

Nod Young
Nod Young is Chinese graphic designer and illustrator based in Beijing, co-founder and creative director of Khaki Creative & Design. His works combine modern trends of design with traditional Chinese art.
More of Nod’s works at Flickr and my favorites are inside the post.
Corcoise
I decided to share one of my favorite illustrator on Flickr – L Filipe dos Santos (aka Corcoise). He mostly draw skinny girls with big eyes and noses and this would be not enough for me to like the artist but for opposite effect. But Corcoise’s people are so lively, so perfect-unperfect that I love to see everithing he draws or paints. And he does a lot, with all kind of natural media.
Take a look!
Fiona Hewitt
Back from winter holidays I start sharing with you recent findings, inspiring goodies.
British artist Fiona Hewitt is inspired by all things Chinese. And her recent illustrations express this affection, stylistically based on Chinese advertisements and packaging of the beginning of 20th century.
Inca Pan
Taiwanese illustrator Inca Pan works in mixed media and watercolor to create magical surreal collage illustration. I can not completely apprehend how and why, but his images attract me greatly.
Sleeping Monkeys
Sleeping monkeys by Scotish artist Kirsty Whiten is something I could not just pass by. So peaceful, beautiful and weird.
Found at Human Resources.
