German illustrator Carsten Mell has a great body of work on his site, very neatly arranged into various categories.

Tommy Kane has had a prolific history working in advertising. He also does some fine paintings. Check out his blog for sketches and new work.

Designer and illustrator Izzie Klingels specializes in creating stippled artwork with pens. Her black and white pieces, in particular, bear an elegance more closely related to art photography than illustration.

Manuel Larino has a tidy website that effectively displays his work. Along with the final art, he also has shots of the pieces in use, as well as his pencil sketches (which are amazingly clean).

Oscar Gimenez is indeed the definition of a visual chameleon. His work is amazingly adaptive, and his book displays his accomplishments in different fields, different styles and different media.

Andy Smith’s graphic illustration work looks simple, but on the other hand clearly demonstrates that sometimes, simplicity is key to getting the point across. Simple lines, strong textures and colors define his design and illustration work.

To say John Chandler’s work is prolific is a bit of an understatement. His site plays hosts to a huge amount of paintings, drawing and illustrations. His artist-reporter documentary paintings are particularly wonderful.

Onemannbrand is a one man…. brand. Combining design, illustration, branding and advertising, his illustrated works have edgy commercial appeal. He also has some very nice visualization pieces (artwork done for approvals in advertising before photo or video shoots).

Toronto-based illustrator Shingo Shimizu got his break in illustration while working (surprise!) as a DJ at various clubs. After producing work for several clubs and lounges, he ‘retired’ into full time illustration and has been doing really well for himself ever since!

Sugar Power owns and runs the Lint Museum, which is home to many, many little creative curios. Her main illustration style is irreverent collage work, although you really should take a look at her bizarre little films too.
