The Illustration Journal

20 New Illustrations for Editorial, Advertising & Publishing — A Visual Journal for Illustrators
By [Your Name]

This project showcases 20 brand new illustrations created to accompany my online journal for illustrators and creatives. Each piece explores themes relevant to editorial illustration, advertising, publishing, freelancing, and creative practice, offering visual interpretations of the challenges and joys of working in the illustration industry.

The illustrations span a range of editorial and conceptual topics—from creativity and burnout, to pitching work and navigating feedback—and are designed to resonate with art directors, commissioners, design studios, and fellow illustrators.

Each image complements a written post from my journal, which is a resource I created to mark 20 years as a professional illustrator. The journal is filled with insights, tips, and reflections on building a sustainable and creatively fulfilling career in illustration.

Whether you're an art buyer looking for conceptual illustration, an editorial designer in need of visual storytelling, or a freelancer looking for inspiration, this collection brings together strong ideas, thoughtful composition, and a deep love for the craft.
