Looking at its origin, illustration is a piece of visualizing art. Back to the old times, it was made to help enhancing writing that corresponds to the content of the associated text; it may be used to clarify complicated concepts or objects that are difficult to describe in words, or simply for decoration as those in greeting cards or cover art bringing people very simple and direct message.
This extraordinary illustration explores new trends in handcrafted illustration, each of which lends a welcome departure from digitally generated graphics.
