The Power of the pen & the pencil : Violeta Hernández.

One thing you have to admire about Hernandez is how she capture’s the detail, the detail is not all there but what she capture’s of it, really gives the object character, and in a funny sort of way the simplicity is wonderful. I really adore the strong use of color, how deep the colours are, espically how eye's are not ever visible, normally some people think the eyes are the window into the soul, but these illustrations don't have eyes, but they have much more.

The Power of the pen & the pencil : Raphael Vicenzi

Vicenzi, is a self taught illustrator from Brussels, who has taught himself well, very well indeed, his illustrations are filled with colors, life, and originality, the colours on the page are amazing, and I love how typography in his pieces, also the paint that drips down in the pieces look like graffiti, the surreal feeling it causes is lovely, it’s amazing how the subject always has eye contact with the viewer it’s slightly creepy. Either way I adore his work, it's incredibly messy like spirals and colorful balls, it's chaotic and at the same time quite calm. His work should be refereed to The Chaotic and The Calm. All of his work is just so interesting to look at, one of the few artist who can hypnotize me with his amazing work.

The Power of the pen & the pencil : Yukari Terakado.

The strength of the pen and pencil has become more stronger over the years, like seriously, I'm seeing amazing sketches and drawings all of the place, people are just becoming masters of the pen and pencil. Today's master is: Miss Terakado,the amazing illustrator, born in Japan. All of her illustrations have the innocence touch, and just look at the amazing details, to me the photo's just make mewant to make a story for each one.
