Daniel Egneus - Illustrator

The work of watercolour illustrator Daniel Egneus is so imaginative. His beautiful female/animal hybrids are my favourite pieces; anyone who can make someone look elegant while wearing a giant grab hat has to have some serious talent.

Born in 1972 in Sweden, Daniel has spent 20 years all over Europe in Prague, London, Berlin, Bologna and Rome, he now works in Milan.

Denise Grünstein - Photographer

Finnish Denise Grünstein is another photographer I absolutely love, her slightly whimsical, fairytale style is similar to that of Tim Walker and her pieces are often recognized for their characteristic romanticism and links to flora and fauna.

Cecilia Lundgren - Ilustrator

The main appeal of Swedish illustrator Cecilia Lundgren for me is how uncomplicated her work is and her -harder than you might think- ability to make a technical drawing look effortless.

I love the very clean almost graphical use of flowing lines and their varying textures as well as the gorgeous girls she chooses to capture, but most of all I love how she doesn't over do it, instead deciding to keep things simple with a limited but striking use of colour that jumps out of the page at you.

What The Average Woman Looks Like In Every Country

According to Faces Of Tomorrow and artist Mike Mike; this is what the average woman in every country looks like...although personally I think that should be what the average woman would look like if she was a total hottie and never ate crisps.

Mike Mike's project combines hundreds of photographs of the faces of women from various places, in an attempt to highlight the faces “average” features, country by country.

See more including the 'average' faces sampled and the male version here.

Stina Persson - Illustrator

Stina Persson is an illustrator based in Stockholm, Sweden whose clients include Coca Cola, Absolut Vodka, Sony and DKNY.

I love how her use of colour and tone work uniquely to create quite a striking graphic feel, something which is softened gorgeously with the use of varied brush strokes.

She has also worked for some of my favourite magazines Vogue Nippon, Harper's Bazaar, Flaunt, Elle UK and Nylon amongst others.
