Jason Levesque is my hero.
Wow, such vibrant colors, definitely adding these to my list!
First piece by Rubens Cantuni looks like a pretty obvious Shawnimals/Friends With You ripoff.
Both pieces by Niark1 seems to be treading really heavily on Jeff Soto's work, color scheme and all.
Honestly not terribly impressed with this list. There's much, much better work out there...
My fault, but I never heared about them
The art Mike Friedrich and Niark1 is mind blowing
Muito bom! Mas faltou o Cristiano Siqueira (crisvector)
Wow, that's pretty cool. I love 9 -Pacman23's stuff. Thanks abduzeedo!
Thanks for listing these great artists--you might want check this one out for your list's next version: http://www.tiburcio.locaweb.com.br/ he is very versatile and talented.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing these. I especially love saltyshadow's style, as well as jason levesque. :)
Jason Levesque used to work for the company I'm in. He's such a nice guy!
how about the stunning works of mcbess?
This is a really nice list of illustrators but I think Audrey Kawasaki should be on here. But since that is a matter of opinion I guess i'll just throw her name on the unofficial comment list. check out her stuff here:

I think Rockin Jelly Bean has to be in the list
@MateToth: There's a great deal of originality (except for Saltyshadow/Shadow Chen whose stuff is a dirty confused mess) here.
why is Mc Bess not in this list : <
some are really nice
Not very impressed with any list without www.crackpixels.com
Fala sério... Cheio de neguinho querendo se promover sugerindo nos comentários que o próprio portfolio entre na próxima lista. Tsc tsc tsc...
Guys, if you know a good artist and his not on the list that's because the whole point of the list is to bring you new illustrators that you don't know about.
But everyone seem to always want the guys they know to be on the list which is pretty useless if you see something you already seem.
It's just common sense lol
Some majors missing on this list. Names like Joshua M. Smith of HydroSevetyFour comes to mind.
>>>>>>>>> www.plasticz.pl <<<<<<<<<<
<<<<<<<<they're all so similar in their style!
thanks for featuring me in your article. it's a honour to be in a round with N1ark, Thomas Pereira and the other creative artist! thanks a lot and chEErs from berlin, mike
truly amazing artists. some of these guys have been insanely inspiring for me over the last year. I hope i can be an amazing illustrator someday
GENARO DESIA COPPOLA
think its the best!!!!!
the last guy copied McBess
Hei, thanks for featuring me. Not so sotisfied by the first piece of mine you linked, one of the ones I'm not so proud of :D I think I got much better works, I hope.
By the way, I'm really glad to be on that list.
PS: @ Anonymoys I can swear I didn't even know the people you mentioned, maybe it could remind you something, it happens, but I don't steal anything, for sure.
...and what a interesting story! :-)
