Found from an interview with Luke Pearson. One of his influences/artists he’s into at the moment. I think I’m starting to realize that I like cartoony graphicy stuff. I wonder if that’s okay because I feel like its been going against art school and such. But not really because this is some sort of style that I’ve always been into but never thought it was decent enough for school. Or actually, I didn’t even think about this being a style I could try out. Its just sort of happening right now. And I think I’m having the realization through not ever really liking stuff I’ve done for school. Hrm.
Hrm…

Neil Swaab
I found out about Neil Swaab one day when I was perusing around Illustration Mundo. I liked the throw back style reminiscent of the 20′s and 30′s when Fleischer Studios and Archie Comics were big. After a couple clicks on his website, I found out he did character layouts for Superjail! and Ugly Americans, which are two of my favorite animated shows. These shows are produced by Augenblick Productions, which is an independent animation studio located in New York. Aaron Augenblick has stated in an interview that he is heavily influenced by the cartoon/animation style that of the 20′s/30′s, which rivaled Disney at the time.
Neil has done a wide range of work, from editorials, book cover design, book layout, character design, animation and comics. One of his comics, Rehabilitating Mr. Wiggles has been published for 10 years now (and he’s only 33). The thing I like about his art is that it’s very fun and colorful. I think the re-appropriating of the old cartoon style to contemporary times is successful. It’s nice to think that things don’t have to be naturalistic or accurate in anatomy for it to be considered good or interesting.
Yusuke Nakamura
I just sort of stumbled upon this artist while just browsing. Yusuke Nakamura’s well thought out design and use of color was what caught my attention. And the cute Asian girl drawings helped too. His designs seem simple and flat but upon more scrutiny, there is a lot of lovely details in line work and coloring. His color schemes are bold and he’s able to use saturated colors harmoniously with flatter ones.
Yusuke Nakamura has designed CD covers for various Japanese bands, such as Asian Kung-Fu Generation and Spitz. He has also contributed designs for Resona Bank.
Joe Ciardiello
Joe Ciardiello is an artist/illustrator. He was born on Staten Island, NY in 1953. He is a graduate of the H.S. of Art & Design and earned his BFA from Parsons School of Design and the New School, in 1975. Joe has created illustrations for American Express, The Atlantic Monthly, Barnes & Noble, Capitol Records, ESPN, Jazziz, New York Magazine, The New Yorker, Playboy, Rolling Stone, Sports Illustrated, [[Time Magazine and The New York Times. He has been awarded several medals from the Society of Illustrators in NYC. He also plays the drums in both jazz and blues/R&B bands.
-from his wikipedia page.
Joe’s style reminds me of someone, or some peoples style. Again, I like his line work but the select rendering makes it feel sort of out-dated (why is it always just the nose or forehead, or just anything with a shine? ugh). I feel like this style is so reminiscent of 90′s editorial/magazine/American-ness. His way of caricaturing is great though as these images are favorites of mine.
