I remember gasping at my first sighting of Laura Laine’s fashion illustrations in the New York Times. I loved the way her lithe characters dramatically and gracefully twisted. Also, those statuesque faces framed by massive locks of flowing long hair — gorgeous.
Laura Laine studied fashion design at the University of Art and Design Helsinki. Her clients include Zara, Tommy Hilfiger, H&M, Iben Hoej, Daniel Palillo, The New York Times Magazine, Elle Girl, The Guardian, and Páp Magazine.

Icelandic illustrator Erla María Árnadóttir has a great sense of humor — it really shows in her creepy/cute fowl drawings.

Watching Milton Glaser’s magical color pencil move and make forms makes me want to draw!
For me, drawing has always been an absolutely primary way of encountering reality. I’m astonished by drawing. I always think of every drawing as a kind of miraculous occurrence.
– Milton Glaser
Milton Glaser Draws & Lectures: A Short Film was filmed at Milton’s studio in 2006 by C. Coy
