Paintings by Esther Brown
Esther Brown is a British/South African artist and designer born and raised in Japan, currently settled and working in the UK. She completed a BA HONS in Fine Art in 2014, worked as a print designer and has won an award for her drawings.
Gleaning elements from her multicultural background, Esther’s work is based around the concepts of symmetry, beauty and Utopia. Brightly coloured birds sit on a background of patterns and golden halos, and animals are surrounded by a wreath of voluptuous flowers and butterflies. Her pieces often reflect the conflict between animals in decorative spaces and the desire for all nature to be wild and free. Both the small fragile creatures and those creatures considered more powerful are depicted and upheld in an other-worldly utopian environment, where their beauty and uniqueness is to be celebrated.

New York based Milan and Melbourne raised illustrator Ilya Milstein works mainly as editorial artist for clients include The New York Times, Kiehl's and Vice Media. In his recent series commissioned by the New York Times Style Magazine, Ilya recreates "New Yorkers and Their's 80s routines"
“These detailed streetscapes follow a character as she navigates the bustling and gritty New York of the era, crossing paths along the way with figures like David Wojnarowicz, Sylvia Woods and Andy Warhol”
The era might have been old New York’s last real gasp — a time when the very streets, dirty and unsafe as they were, seemed infused with possibility. Here, notable locals revisit their routes and routines, from lunch on the Upper East to nighttime sojourns to then-emerging neighborhoods like TriBeCa. - NYT

Illustrator Claudia Chanhoi is Redefining Femininity and Sexuality
Drawing the most feminine parts of the female body as a series of dishes – isn’t that a bit over the top? Trying to fully express women’s desire for sexuality and even its symbolic form, through the tip of a pen – isn’t that a bit audacious?
Claudia Chanhoi, a Hong Kong-born and U.S.-based artist, says most of her creations feature women’s body parts but aren’t only about women’s sexual desire. They also represent the artist herself, a modern straight woman.
Michael Driver Illustrations
Mike Driver, a London, based freelance illustrator, currently represented by MP Arts. "His textural and brightly-hued work, full of long-limbed characters is a joy to look at. Their crispness and clarity suits print wonderfully but his use of both digital and analogue techniques keeps things interesting."
Andreea Robescu
There is no doubt that future is female and bright, and the portfolio of Barcelona-based graphic artist Andrea Robescu you see below is a strong evidence of it. Worth to mention Andrea is a crime partner of our long-term friend Andrei Robu helping him with graphic projects on daily basis
Her art breaks the boundaries of how the body and facial features are illustrated through photography in the fashion industry and by using a more relaxed and fun way of looking at things she expressed and embraced the human sexuality in a playful and empowering way.
Bold colours and abstract shapes play a big part of Andreea’s work. She’s creating powerful visuals using everything from markers to acrylics, pencils and ink, sometimes even her bare hands making the whole process a very personal one. Her energetic illustrations attracted the eye of various global brands and publications.
