Haha..the last one looks like gizmo from the gremlins! :)
Awesome creativity. Bravo!
Nate Williams – Absolutely gorgeous! Love the colours, and that style.
Yeah… some are really strange… Zombie folio reminded me of early horror books illustrations… Trash forever!
I do really like the one of Zach Ohara, it’s just great!
Great post! I found an illustrator online and he has a pretty cool site and nice blog. http://www.catrow.com

Herman brood should be up there
Hot damn these are great. Makes me want to quit the day job and go live in a cave and draw all day
Weird and unique ! cool collection ! keep up the good work
Some of these are really weird. …Fantastic!
Awesome :)
i love the cute robot drawn on the table! Awesome work
check out lydianichols.com !!
monsters, cute robots, strange giant creature-things. those must be required subjects in illustration 101 at every art school on the planet.
another class must be “how to draw strange nostrils instead of a nose”.
if you follow illustration blogs and sites, these few themes for some reason are utterly rampant. maybe it will pass, like “gel cap navigation buttons”, “sun beam backgrounds” and “page peel” that every other website design portfolio had about 3 years ago. Oh, and “shiny chicklet button things”…
These are awesome, love the last one!
Cool list BUT missing my friend Curt Merlo: http://www.curtmerlo.com/ – awesome artist – purist :)
Awesome showcase!
Love Ken Garduno’s work! Really inventive and such a great style too :)
check out invisiblecreature.com, some of the best illustrators i’ve seen
:/ agree with Douglas, this stuff is getting old.
Awesome illustrations indeed!

amazing and beautiful illustrations.
beautiful and scary at the same time.
Great illustrations, indeed.
lots of great work i hadn’t seen yet… thanks!

Beautiful stuff, makes me rather jealous!
stunning illustrations. Great work, a lot of stuff I haven’t seen before.
Truly inspiring.
That’s totally ugly…
Seriously, I call that Lazy Drawings. It’s a form of art ? a style ? bullshit… there’s nothing clean, though, hardly done here.
Those which are really worth seeing here are only Andrey Gordeev and Allan Sanders. The others are only photoshop tutorials mess or lazy hand drawings.
Seriously, you can do A LOT better than a post like that.
Very nice collection and nice to see a new selection of illustrators- a lot of these I have not met yet.- Of to do so now :)

Totally agree, These illustrations are works that you won’t see everyday. Thanks for sharing!
I don’t understand what the big hype over kindergarten-quality drawings are…
I’m not trying to bring anyones work down, I want a real genuine answer, the first two in particular.
I understand these guys call it a “style” but where do they draw the line?
“Modern art”, you know, the white square with a white background in a white frame.. Or the 3 small circles surrounded by 3 meters of blank canvas… Absolutely sad.
Most of these artworks are awesome, though.
