Who’s your Favorite Illustrator?

Last night, I sent out the above Tweet, asking for Illustrator recommendations. The response has been incredible. In fact, I found so many talents on that thread that I figured I should share it here, on my blog. Thanks to everyone that responded. I can’t help but feel that the internet is quite a magical place.

Feel free to add your favorite illustrator as a comment below.

    Annelise Capossela http://www.annelisecapossela.com
    and Lizzie Stewart http://www.abouttoday.co.uk
