Masha Karpushina is a russo-british illustrator born in USSR in 1982. A lot of different clients chose her graphic style to create magazine illustration, advertising or package design. She introduces her work with these words : "She is driven by the power of nature, the beauty within man and beast, traditions of past generations and the essence of love." Her portfolio is essentially composed of ink or pencil line drawings playing with watercolor paintings, but some of her works also contain photography.

zhan wei is a chinese graphic designer and illustrator from Guilin. Full member of the Hong Kong Society of illustrators, his work is influenced by street art and skateboard. His style mixes up a chinese visual culture legacy (through typography and calligraphy by example) and a kind of transgression inherited from skateboard universe and underground cultures.

It's with a great pleasure that I publish in this article a short interview of Alexis Marcou, a very talented greek illustrator. His pictures, hand-drawn for a very large part, keep the strenght and sensitivity of the pencil but inherit some features from graphic design too. Besides, his portfolio contains very interesting letterings and even some fonts.
Another thing I really like in this portfolio is the display of the projects which mix up photographs, sketches, notes, and give an idea of the process of the work.
