Vancouver artist Julie Morstad has dreamlike, beautiful if slightly creepy artworks featuring hand illustrated people, animals and places.
You can buy her pretty pieces online at her Big Cartel site here also
We found her via Boooooom

Eleanor is just a graduate student, but we're going to give her a rap on the wrist, as her website isn't completed. When your work is this cute and circulating around online, an artist has to get their portfolio together dammit.

Mr Maxim Dalton says he has been illustrating since he was 2 or 3 yrs old, which we found a cute way to put it. He also speaks five languages and lives in Barcelona.

This ceramic artist is based in Brisbane Australia, and she is obsessed with road maps, recipes, sewing patterns and handwriting. Even without her work, we like like the sound of her already.

Beck's have asked 10 UK illustrators to re think the best album covers of the last 40 years and artists include McBess, Hellovon, Kid Acne, Si Scott and Laura Jackman.

Sandra Juto we have had our eye on for some time, as she's quite the blogger and a dab hand at illustration and mixed media.

Based in Gothenburg Sweden, she introduced us to the concept of 'fika' which means to go out for a coffee, accompanied generally by a sweet treat. Which really only justifies our ordering cake with our coffee as we feel 'European'.

A self taught artist is Thomas Campbell. Not that he's a major fan of the term, preferring to say 'I just made stuff'. Really really cool stuff that is. He's put his hand to sculpture, painting, photography and film and has excelled at each.
