Anatomy Illustrated is a book designed to showcase the master illustrators of the 16-19th centuries. The book was a created by Melbourne-based designer Josip Kelava. The book focuses on the illustrator William Cheseldon, who was an English surgeon and teacher of anatomy, and who was influential in establishing surgery as a scientific medical profession. His works, along with many other illustrators, have been redesigned to a modern style, incorporating typography as a sense of interaction with the illustrations.

Since it is so close to Valentines day how about a post about a love hate relationship of heroes and villains. Dan Matutina (Twisted Fork) created Versus/Hearts  to show that rivals hate each other, but deep inside they know they couldn't exist without the other. Check out more of his work or a previous post about him on TCL: Dan Matutina: A Designer & Illustrator

There is something about Illustrations that always find a spot of interest in my love for art. The rich dark color tones and the imagination of others.

UK based illustrator Luke Twyman has sparked my interest with the release of some of his new illustrations that I like to think have a winter/snow midnight type feel to them. These icy landscapes have a texture to them that gives an almost calming and silent feel and I look forward to seeing more work by Twyman.

Here are some intriguing superimposed illustrations by Peony Yip. Her minimalist portraits of young women are first rendered in pencil and then overlayed with animals tinted in red. This gives the images a sense of nature in all of women. Check out more from Yip on Behance

Andrea Manzati is the creator of the space travel series that was created for Fast Company magazine and was displayed as a full page illustration. I can see why it got a full page just look at the detail and concept of future ideas of spaceships. I'm digging the series also due to the color palette choice and also cause it has to do with space.  Who doesn't like space?  Check out more of Andrea work on Behance

These series is very creative and clever and was created by Patricia Povoa. She ran with the idea of making minimal posters about the most recognizable haircuts of iconic famous people and fictional characters on the planet.  Her minimal style uses great colors and various shapes to identify very quickly who these iconic hairstyles belonged too.  Check out her other series like the My Childhood Heroes series.

Justin Mezzell Illustrations have such an inspiring geometrical landscape with a nice touch of muted color schemes. The detail in each one of these illustrations are just fantastic and well placed.  You want to get lost in these images. I have only placed a few and I would encourage you to check out more of his work.

Scottish illustrator Matt Cowen uses basic math equations to explain how certain pop culture icons came to be. The use of simple illustrations gives us a look at the superhero or pop culture character in their simplest form. The use of different symbols and items gives us a clever way of looking at the characters origins. Some of them had me cracking up over here while writing this. I didn't post them all so if you want to see more check out his Deviant Art page.

Fab Ciraolo is an illustrator from Chile, who took things back a little old school.  You remember a lot of the 80's cartoons like Captain Planet, Thundercats, Rainbow Brite, and etc. Well, Fab gave them a little flash with some old school outfits and an outer space background look.  If you get a chance check out some of his other work on his blog.
