  6. Hunting is a strange sport. Well, for us, it’s not even a sport, but a way of gathering food — we don’t trophy hunt. I’ve always been a bit disenamored with trophy hunting, You know,  some dude, blissfully pleased with his abilities to sport a deer, holding some massive weapon. It’s all a bit comical. This illustration is my depiction of that.

  9. The Illustration of Melanie Matthews

    Another artist found on Dribbble, I’ve been waiting to share this gem of an illustrator for quite some time. As one of my absolute favorite illustrators out there, I’d have to put Melanie up there with Matt Kaufenberg. The combination of unique color choices, whimsical characters and brilliant texturing is always keeping me wanting to to see her next piece. Her use of strokes and texture, however, are what put her work over the top for me.

    I suggest you follow her on Twitter at @bearprintsmel and on Dribbble.

  11. The Illustration of Jerrod Maruyama

    I may have found an illustrator more obsessed with Disney/Pixar than I. I came across Jerrod Maryuama’s Kawaii (cute) styled Pixar characters earlier this year and I’m hooked. I love his style, including the variations (retro Incredibles, Snow White Poster) that I’ve seen. Jerrod has an insane understanding of shape, balance and simplicity in his illustrations.

    Not only is he an amazing illustrator with a style all his own, but he’s incredibly kind and friendly. I suggest you follow him on Twitter at @jmaruyama and on Dribbble.

    Cheers, Jerrod. You inspire me.

  14. The Illustration of Matt Kaufenberg

    I discovered Matt about a year ago, via the designers show and tell site, Dribbble — he’s hands down, my favorite illustrator there. One of my favorites overall. Yeah, I gushed over his work on my interview, that’s right.

    I’ll let his work speak for itself, but if you digs, follow him on Twitter, Dribbble, read his blog and check out his work or buy something at his website, Stuntman Studios. 

    P.S. I heart the Clark Griswold illustration, hard.

  15. The Illustration of Kevin Kidney

    The first time I saw Kevin Kidney’s artwork, I fell in love with it. It felt like retro Disney, like the Tiki room, like a lot of the art direction I had seen around Disney culture, but never had seen recently. I thought it was some amazing artist from 40 or so years ago.

    Turns out Kevin Kidney was a designer for Disney. As of now, he’s a self-employed art director, illustrator, writer, sculptor, and maker of things. Things. All sorts of things. He’s obsessed with the style of the 60s and building art with anything: paper, paintbrushes, wood, ceramic, leather, even feathers. His art style is unique and is medium seems limitless.
