Roma

I had to scan this small image from near the inner spine of a large book (Illustration now). The reproduced image quality suffered but the illustration can still be made out pretty clearly which I think says alot about this illustration. The simplicity and the immediately recognizable objects say alot visually, very effectively and fast. The added bonus is it also fits project 2 well.

more is less

Sorry You have to click the image or the link below to see this better but this portfolio is really cool. This illustrator has a strange style but its awesome.

I thought this was a cool illustration of a paratrooper. I could definately see it being used as a units insignia... it is kind of a new adaption of an old unit insignia with the motto Death From above and the one below which is known as the widow maker.

Hedgehog in the Fog

Hedgehog in the Fog is a cool russian animation from the 70's. I like the style it's done in. The illustrated cut-outs are highly textured but simplified.

Where The Wild Things Are

One of the best parts of "Story Time" in grade school were the great illustrations in books like the Polar Express, Hungry catepillar, and my favorite Where The Wild Things Are. The book had a unique style that was part drawn and part cut out that made it stand out to me. Childrens books have some of the best illustrations.
