I discovered the wonderful work of Kozo Kakimoto yesterday in a second-hand bookstore. It’s a shame there’s so little of his work online – Mr Bear’s various adventures are well worth seeking out.

Listening to the soundtrack of In The Heat Of The Night today reminded me how good the original poster artwork is.

Illustrator Caitlin Clarkson’s Animal Alphabet (abbreviated to the rather ugly moniker ‘Anibet’) is very pretty indeed. Digging the J for Jaguar… sadly X is not for XJS in this instance.

Jock designer Linzie Hunter’s portfolio boasts a wealth of beautiful illustration and hand lettering. Her broad client base includes a host of household names including The Guardian, Orange, Nike and Sainsbury’s.
Her illustration for World Poker Tour magazine, above, almost makes me hanker for a game of poker myself.

Belgium. It’s fair to say that it doesn’t really serve any sort of meaningful purpose. Still, despite living there, illustrator, Gwenola Carrere has some delightful work in her portfolio. Bravo, with a generous side order of high fives.

The recently-departed Peter Falk, better known as Columbo, would surely appreciate this abstract portrait.
