Today I’m in love with this embroidered work by Gemma Austin. Embroidery is like the antithesis of pixels to me in how they are built – one painstakingly by hand, the other digitally; but yet they are almost similar in the way they are built – one stitch (and one pixel) at a time.

I was directed to Conrad Roset’s work by a friend, and I’ve been pouring over his work since. He’s a freelance illustrator from Barcelona and his works are punctuated by color, seemingly rendered with the aura of his subjects in mind.

See more of his work over at his blog (where you can find his shop) and also via his portfolio.

I’m enjoying the work of Daniela Witzel, an illustrator based in Germany who does amazing things with color pencils. And while I love her style, it’s her imagination that truly sets her apart.
