Illustrator / Designer : Dermot Reddan (∞)
based in Brooklyn, New York

I discovered Reddan’s work last week and immediately fell in love with the vibes!
I appreciate his passion for hip-hop, the skate scene, NYC flare, expressions of artistic characters, and involvement in branding work for X Games 2018. Reddan can do it all and has proven himself to be a staple in the game since his introduction in 2003.

Illustrator / Designer : Kelvin Chung (∞)
of Silent Speaker Studio
based in Hong Kong

I don't recall exactly how I discovered Chung’s work, but this is the illustration that initially caught my attention. It has the look of adventure written all over it and the line/hatch work style is used well. I traveled to Colorado to explore the outdoors this past October and have recently thought about going skydiving for a second time in the near future. So, just the combination of the those elements depicted this way made this a sure favorite. Check out some of the others below featuring more detail and give Chung a follow if you like what you see - the profile is linked up top next to his name.

Artist / Designer : Jason Yates (∞)
based in Toronto, Ontario (Canada)

I love the use of pointillism, the monochromatic color scheme, and minimalist-type details behind Yates’ designs. Even seeing some of his time lapses via Instagram, there’s an essence created in the development of the design.

While I have included a gallery of my favorites below, I want to also highlight that Jason has been heavily involved in community work for years. He teamed up with KIVA and lends funding to others in developing countries who do not have access to certain opportunities. Please take a minute to look into KIVA at the link provided above.
In the words of KIVA, “ dreams are universal, opportunity is not. ”

Artist : Kenbasa Harrell (∞)
Founder of Soul Brush Creative
based in Wake Forest, North Carolina

I started following Harrell earlier this year and many of his designs brought back fond memories related to certain video games, those cool 90s era vibes, and television shows I watched as a child. I truly dig the name ‘Soul Brush Creative’, his overall design style, presentation, artist collaborations, and audience engagement.

I have compiled a few of my favorites below, but please do your due diligence and support a dope creator by checking out his Instagram profile link at the top of this post.
