AND NOW FOR SOME TERRIBLY TALENTED BUGGERS -

So good, it’s a bit sickening…… classic fashion illustration from the master- Rene Gruau

Never one to be afraid of bright colours… King of the ‘graphic line’ and the movie poster – Mr Bob Peak

Another 1950s/60s Master…. sooooo good with pattern and strong compositions – Al Parker

Coby Whitmore was best known for his Saturday Evening Post covers – he was one of a select few illustrators that monopolised the America ladies magazines of the 40s & 50s. It’s easy to see why…

Inky silhouette-y goodness from Bil Donovan…

Strong, bold and often shexshy – Monsieur Francois Berthoud…

Stylish and very stylised fashion illustrations, often with a surreal twist from Richard Gray…

Amazing quality of line and bold compositions from Daniel Egneus…

A similar quality of line with a more subtle approach to composition / colour palette from Judit Garcia…

Pure finesse from Cecilia Carlstedt…

With a playful, sexy, funny slant on illustration and an amazing draughtsman, he makes me a little bitty sick - David Bray…

Not afraid of being in your face – Alvara Tapia Hidalgo…

Photo realistic approach and a subtle, muted palette from the very clever Cedric Rivraine…

An old school classic fashion illustration approach with a modern twist from Judith Van Den Hoek…

Surreal, a tad gothic and super inventive- It’s all about the hair with Laura Laine…

Loose and luscious brushstrokes all over the joint – the very painterly Tina Berning…

Naive, spidery lines. Playful but with maximum impact – Tanya Ling…
