No4

Found a really useful book in Borders last week. It's called 'No4' and its an annual released by 3x3 magazine and it showcases a lot of new talent in illustration.
One of the illustrators that caught my attention is Yuko Shimizu


Its alot like Kozyndan.. but on crack. Lots of detail to look at, with a prominent eastern influence.
Looking at her website I found she does a whole range of work, from children's illustration to advertisement, and it looks as though she gets commissioned for many magazines.

on another note, I found this simply clever piece of design while browsing in the perfume section in boots...
