Peter Crawley is an illustrator who has developed a distinctive style of his own using thread weaved into pierced paper. A product designer by day, the images he creates depicting architecture, animals, geometric shapes and typography are largely personal projects but since his work has been noticed by a number of blogs it’s only a matter of time before the commissions start rolling in.
Roya Hamburger is an artist and illustrator based in Amsterdam. Her work is a mix of illustration, photography and typography which aims to cross the boundries between the worlds of commercial illustration and fine art. Since graduating from the esteemed Willem De Kooning Academy of Arts in Rotterdam, Roya has worked for a long list of international clients including Cosmopolitan, Elle, M Magazine, British Airways, Postbank, Deloitte and Martini.
Roya was kind enough to take some time out to join in with our Ten Questions series.
Douglas Bowden is a UK based illustrator and designer working under the name of Panda Yoghurt. His work for high profile clients including MTV, Computer Arts magazine, Wired magazine, Vodafone and Ninjatune has seen him develop his style into a unque blend of fluid illustrations and typography mixed with photography and collage. He was generous enough to take some time out to get involved with our ‘Ten Questions‘ blog series. Read on for his answers and some great examples of his work – more of which can be seen here.
Mr. Bingo is a vintage postcard-collecting illustrator based in East London. He describes himself as having a ’slightly smaller than average head’, ‘girl’s arms’ and ‘the same haircut as his mum’. His distinctive drawing style, filled with clever details and dark humour, has gained the attention of clients such as The Guardian, GQ Magazine, Oxfam, Tate, The New York Times and Microsoft.
He kindly agreed to take some time out to answer our questions.
For the second installment of our Ten Questions series, we chatted to the Russian born paper illustrator Yulia Brodskaya. Her intricate, sculptural creations have gained the attention of clients such as Hermès, Cadbury, Orange, The Guardian and The New York Times amongst others. Instantly recognisable, her work brings together a combination of the things she loves; typography, paper, and highly detailed hand-made craft objects.
As well as concentrating on our own work, I always try to ensure I take time to check out what our peers are doing and start conversations with other designers. I don’t think of this dialogue as ‘networking’, but more a chance to chat to other interesting, creative and passionate people who often have a great deal of interesting viewpoints and opinions on issues design-related and otherwise.
With this in mind, I thought I’d ask a range of designers, photographers, illustrators, writers, directors and other interesting people who’s work I admire to answer the same set of ten questions and share the answers along with some examples of their work.
