In recent years, illustration has evolved from a purely service-oriented trade to an expressive, poetic, and esteemed voice in contemporary visual culture. Today it continues to burgeon as a creative discipline especially in its more artistic forms. Editorial design increasingly uses illustration in place of photography because it depicts and enriches content in a way that offers an expanded dimension of communication. Illustrators Unlimited presents the work of cutting-edge illustration talents scouted from around the world. They are working independently from fleeting trends and represent the best of the virtually inexhaustible possibilities of styles and techniques that are practiced today. The book is structured according to the featured illustrators. Each one is introduced with a variety of representative examples of his or her work plus a text portrait written by James Gaddy, a former editor at Print magazine. Whether created by established names or fresh talents, the work collected here has been chosen solely for its artistic merit. The lavish images covering page after page and insightful accompanying texts make Illustrators Unlimited a comprehensive overview of contemporary illustration. The book is a definitive reference for clients looking to commission work, for agencies, and anyone else who is interested in this multifaceted creative medium.

An array of artists and designs from around the world, to inspire and get your creative juices going!
As well as digitally enhanced illustrations, a chunk of the book features some very pretty watercolour/ hand drawn pieces. The quality of the book is also great with nice thick paper. Overall very pleased with my purchase, and definitely would recommend to established artists looking for inspiration or anyone just interested in illustration and contemporary design.

Great Book
28 Mar 2012
By Erika Diblik Vasco Mercado
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
it's an amazing and detailed book whit 2 pages per illustrator showing some of the very best, the printing quality adds to the beauty of this book, it's sharp and shows really good detail in each work here, the Illustrators are from around the world and that adds a lot of appeal to the book.
Over all is a great tool for searching illustration styles but also a great inspiring book.
it's quite heavy which is also a good point the thickness of the paper ads to it's beauty since it doesn't show the previous illustration at all.
If you love illustration you are going to love this book.
