Admiring the bold, colorful and graphic illustrations of Ryan Todd, a London-based artist and designer. He has created a number of personal and commercial projects focusing creative thinking and wit. On an interview with Designboom, he talks about the best piece of advice he’s been given:

“There is something my dad used to say to me. I can’t remember the exact wording but it was something like ‘look at things as they can be, not as they are.’ I’m pretty sure he meant it to encourage me to see good in everything and everyone, which I love and try to do. but I also love the opportunity it creates; the idea that everything is packed with possibilities to change or improve. this sentiment of encouraging people to change the way they look at something is precisely what characterizes my work.”

You can see more of his work on his website, Facebook and Instagram.

Paul Garland is a freelance illustrator based in the UK. Gravitating towards two creative directions, fashion and graphic design, he eventually united both discipline into one, fashion illustration. Here is what he writes about his work:

“My conceptual work relies on bold imagery and metaphor to communicate and I’m a strong believe that the simpler the concept, the more effective the solution becomes.”

“My digital imagery begins with confident pencil drawings, I then use traditional hand made textures, paintings and printmaking to complete the works. I have gained many International Awards and have worked with numerous clients over a 20+ year career as an Illustrator.”

You can find the artist on his website, blog, Facebook, Behance and Instagram.
