POPSLio Beardsley illustration
Lio Beardsley entered an Anna Sui 'Dolly Head' contest in 2003, won the grand prize, had a chance to meet Anna herself, and has worked with her ever since. In 2005, Beardsley published her first illustration book, “Into the Magical World of Delite.” Her clients include Isaten New York, Maybelline, Vidal Sassoon, IT, This is real Art(UK), Samsung and several 4A agencies. She obtained her BA degree from Hong Kong Polytechnique University. “I want to be a mixture of artist and illustrator. Artist alone may be too far fetched, subjective and difficult to understand, but illustrator is also too commercial without personal opinion. Better be both. I don't want to be just an illustrator who draws pretty things. I think it is time for us to give back to this world, to make a beautiful world not only fashion, graphic design, interior design or decoration stuffs, but the inner side of it --- being a vegetarian, my goal is to make a better and peaceful world for the beautiful creatures."

Toulouse is the quintessential digital artist, bringing lush graphic design to life.

POPSCaitlin Kuhwald illustrates You’ve seen Kuhwald’s work around this year. She illustrated a portrait of Al Franken for the Utne Reader, and that led to two commissions from The Progressive to paint Howard Dean and Michael Moore. “I love how much drawing is going on right now,” she says. “It is so nice to see that. Work on paper that is really simple and has a lot of space. I love the graphic quality of having something really worked out and really detailed and then having a lot of space that is really open around it. The most fun that I have when I work is drawing hands and faces. It is frustrating to draw fur.”

POPSKaren Andrews illustration Andrews’ fashion illustration work turns on strong simple images with a touch of whimsy. She has carried over her printmaking training first into the world of giclee prints and now into her illustration process as well. "I found that the computer graphic programs were already the same process as printmaking in that the images are created by layering. The computer offered the same look but control over color not found in traditional printmaking."
