Michael Newhouse specializes in infographic illustrations, particularly maps and diagrams. He does a splendid job at bringing flair to an otherwise boring subject. His logo work is also lovely; be sure to flip through them under the Logos tab.

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.

Illustrator and letterist Sarah Coleman does lovely work with a girlish flavor. Her maps are simply adorable, and they combine her talents to their full extent.

While  the spotlight is on Mariko Jesse’s excellent map work, it’s true to say she does great work all round. I personally like her Asian food illustrations. Mariko is part of the UK illustrators collective, Monster People.

It takes quite a talent to make infographics beautiful as well as functional, but Swedish illustrator Christina Jonsson does so with apparent ease. Although her website is in Swedish only, she keeps a lovely blog in English, which features more of her sketches and paintings of city landscapes and architecture.
