Jeremy Booth is a freelance designer and illustrator from Louisville, Kentucky. We love his flat illustrations with a minimalist approach. His bold style is bright and colorful with pop art and 1960’s influence. On an interview with The Anchored Soul he says this about his process:

“I start off on dotted grid paper, then I use a clutch pencil. Usually I draw out the direction I want to go, then when I fine tune that, I actually go into serious drawing. Once that’s completed, I either use transparent paper to trace it on with Micron pens, or I use a lightbox. Recently, I’ve been using more calligraphy pens and quills and stuff too. The ones you actually dip in an ink well…. Then at that point, I take it and scan it into the computer and I digitalize it. After it’s digitalized, I tweak it to how I want it – to more of a graphic design with aesthetics digitally. I incorporate it initially in Illustrator and once it’s fine-tuned in there, I bring it into Photoshop. [I] finish it there and then you have a final product.”

Admiring these graphic illustrations of women’s head with high hairstyles inspired by women’s hairstyles of the 18th Century. Twins Anna and Elena Balbusso are the award winning illustrators that created these images. Their style merges drawing, painting and graphic design combined with an expansive knowledge of art history.

On an interview with Folio Society they have these suggestions for budding artists:

“It is important to study the history of art and to know the past as well as the present. Always strive to improve. Try to be very critical of yourself but never give up – although it is a very difficult job. Follow and respect one’s personality, don’t follow the trend of the moment. If you do, the risk is to be used and thrown away in a short space of time. At the same time it is important to know about new trends and tastes. Don’t forget it is a commercial world, but be careful in your choice of projects. It is important that the quality of your work keeps growing. Interpretation is more important than technique and special effects. Young artists must not work for free, only if it is for charity. And last but not least, enforce the law on copyright!”
