What will we see more of in the future, with regards to illustration?
-
The introduction of the Apple Mac and applications such as Illustrator, Freehand and Photoshop have probably had the most fundamental impact on illustration over the past 20 years. In the late nineties it was Mac-embracing illustrators like Jasper Goodall, Stuart Patterson and Jason Brooks who helped transform illustration from being regarded as somewhat tired and unglamorous to become ultra-hip.

More recently it’s the internet that’s having a hand in shaping the progress of illustration. In the past, most illustrators had to rely on agents to find them work. These agents tended to act as a filter between the client and the creativity, but now that a client (albeit the breed of client that is brave enough to bypass the agents) can find an illustrator’s work directly on the internet, some interesting and surprising collaborations have resulted, which moves the industry forward.

We tend to search for new talent on the net rather than hoping that someone amazing might drop by the studio with their portfolio, which used to be the way only a few years ago.
