C. Billadeau

When I first tumbled onto this image, I had no idea who C. Billadeau was. It kind of paralyzed me to see such accurate and beautiful representation of what I have been experiencing for a long time now during sleep, say for my whole life: Sleep paralysis.

Above illustration Entre Chien Et Loup literally translates into "between dog and wolf" and it connotes the particular moment between waking and sleeping, day and night, consciousness and unconsciousness, reality and hallucination.

Billadeau is a Minneapolis based illustrator whose interests entail comic art, bookbinding and printmaking as well. You can check out her many great works here.

James Jean

One of my all-time favorite (I mean like really, I adore the man) illustrators is James Jean. He is a Taiwanese-American illustrator known for both his fine art gallery works and commercial works. He is also responsible for cover works of various books published by DC Comics along with Prada, ESPN and Atlantic Records. I don't know how I got to know his works but I am pretty sure I've stumbled upon them sometime four years ago.


What I didn't know 'til just now that he collected much critical acclaim from advertising world with his Prada works he created in 2007 (see above). Check him and his works out by clicking on the links. Don't forget to visit his personal online gallery, you will not regret it!
