One of the things we at Anthology love most about the editorial process is the opportunity to work with artists from all over the world. It’s been a treat to see so many talented illustrators and designers develop their ideas from a simple sketch into the final image for the printed page. Some of my favorites include Chloé Fleury’s paper-cut cover of Issue No. 6, the illustrated movie scenes in our recurring feature “Screen Play” column, and Beth Hoeckel’s stunning collage-work for Issue No. 16.
I am always excited to see a blend of 2D and 3D elements in illustrative work, and when I came across the portfolio of Brooklyn-based artist Danielle Kroll, it was love at first sight. She has a wide range of projects under her belt, from illustrations to textiles to book designs. Her use of exuberant color and mixed media is simply delightful—I’ve noticed while looking at these that my eyes want to dance around the image again and again and again, discovering surprising new details at every turn.
Who are some of your favorite artists/illustrators? If you think there is someone we should collaborate with for the magazine, please share!
