So this one is kind of a double dose of inspiration. Its a married illustration duo. Both of them hold their own under their own namesake.
Jillian Takmaki has work that you would probably gaze over in any magazine or newspaper and not think twice, but what impresses me is the line work that is done before all the digital touch ups. She also does some very nice comic work.
Even many of her finished products keep the eye bouncing around with the composition while being entertained the pseudo story line already contained within the peace.
Sam Weber's work shows the same promise in it's raw state. His work is a little harder to miss though. Striking contrast and bold use of color really catch the eye. He has a series of work that makes it seem that he has a facination with falling.
Sam's work has much more texture to it. He also seems to have much darker themes. But his work strikes me the most when the brush strokes naturally imitate clouds or tree branches, hair or feathers.

And on top of all that they are Canadian. Who would have known. To note, when it comes to illustrators I have to mention Tomer and Asaf Hanuka, Sean Morris, Matthew Woodson, Jason Thielke, and many others hosted on Booooooom!, Lost At E Minor, and Fecal Face.
