'Animals of Iraq' is a coloring book that contains beautiful illustrations of indigenous Iraqi animals observed in their natural habitats - land now ravished by warfare. The disturbing images create tension, drawing in the viewer. This book offers a unique perspective and leaves it up to the viewer to confront their own feelings about the war - and if they should fill in the pictures. That is the intended purpose of a coloring book, after all.

My work is about energy. Both the physical and the emotional- in narrative, conceptual, and abstract forms. Through the use of oil or ink, the works are fueled by the conviction of an idea and through good music into a fluid, unfiltered, focused dance of hand and paint. An artist and illustrator, I live in New York City.

My work is an attempt to marry the classical with the digital. I do not think much of artistic process. Instead I like to let the work speak for itself whenever possible. My role is visual communicator and my motivation is the pursuit of excellence.

I´m an illustrator from Spain, working on media (press, editorial, magazines, etc) I've started to work two years ago. Before that I was working as graphic designer and painting, i decide to merge both careers in one and start to work as a illustrator. I like to make everything on the computer but avoiding the "photoshop look" and trying to make people to ask themselves how is made. My style is urban, sexy, misterious and maybe a little dark sometimes.

I'm a visual effects artist, illustrator, web designer an podcasting consultant living in Germany of all places.The style of my personal work is always influenced a little or a lot by the job at hand. I see my photography as a capturing of shapes and geometry. The mood of an image I apply after the fact, like I felt what I saw at the moment I clicked the shutter. So the images reflect more what I felt than the actual conditions.

I'm a 37 year old illustrator and videogame designer, raised on a steady diet of television, comics, and NPR. I try to take my skewed view of the world and throw it into a pop-comic-culture blender. The results are a sometimes funny, often stark ironic mix of people, politics and the mundane. When it works, it hopefully resonates with each of us, and reveals something about the strange grab-bag world we live in.

I am an illustrator currently based out of Atlanta Georgia. I enjoy creating images that make people smile and normally draw inspiration from scenes in my daily life. I take ordinary subjects and give them a whimsical and sometimes comical spin in effort to charm my audience. My preferred medium for illustration is watercolor, though I also enjoy painting in Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter. I like my work to show brush strokes because it displays my hand working within the piece. I try to avoid making my work too tight because then I tend to loose the painterly quality that I feel sets my work apart.

If I were a mathematician, I'd calculate to the thousandth decimal the ratio of head size to body size that is required get a smile from the viewer. Alas, I am no mathematician, but through a series of trial and error I have closely approximated this ratio through a series of simple illustrations. This is no small feet. I have also discovered that many variables also come into play, depending on the subject matter. Context, color choice, environment, all these details become very important when arriving at the desired ratio. It is the search for this ratio that drives me to create art.

Danny Jock is a comedian, gourmand and illustrator. Graduating from Parsons School of Design in 1997, Jock travelled through Southern California, the Midwest and Upstate New York for five years before returning to New York City. His drawings are a hilarious odyssey through suburbs, dive bars, theme parks, vets clubs and all-you-can-eat buffets. From his envelope-sized snapshots of strangers on the streets to his large, collage-like pieces, his subject is hungerÑfor food, drink or loveÑand the mess of a world created by pursuing fulfilling those hungers. Jock draws his inspiration from slackjawed and bullheaded Americans in all their beautiful, sad and comical postures.

I use ink directly so I can't erase. It forces me to be confident with the marks I make. It sort of feels like running down a tightrope without a net. But the thing is, the "mistakes" I make end up becoming what make the drawings interesting to me. And the edits I make with white-out add unforeseen elements to the picture giving it a "raw" feel. So, I suppose it's actually more like running down a tightrope but it's resting on the ground. It's still the struggle against my fear of making "mistakes" that guides the pen.

Kenyon's work can best be described as graphic satire. From social and political commentary to pop-culture subvertising, each piece is laced with a polluted sense of humor and sarcastic wit bordering on offensive.

I find that the natural world is filled with the most interesting shapes and color combinations, from which I take most of my inspiration. If you look closely at any of my art, you'll see that (as in nature) there's a lot of detail.
