These are five illustrators that use collage. They all have unique styles, and I am attracted to each one's work for different reasons.
Stauffer's work is very politically charged. He is very good at clearly relating what his message is with very simple forms. He tends to use many more hand drawn elements than photos or digital representations, but sometimes he will make an exception:
Quinnell focuses a lot on pop culture icons. He likes to use stars from the 1920's to modern day as subject matter in a lot of his work. He uses photography and digital editing a lot. His works are rarely editorial, but usually very busy and fun to disect:
3. Brian Hubble
Hubble deals with really heavy issues like violence, inadequate schools, poverty, etc. He uses a lot of text and photos to relay his idea. Many of his works turn out to be quite abstracted due to the chaos of his collages:
Buelow uses a lot of digital means for her illustrations. She combinines traditional media with found objects, text, and photographic images to create vibrant, emotionally charged works.
5. Marci Roth
Roth makes very traditional-looking collages. It's not obvious how she fabricates them, or even what era they are from. They have a certain nostalgia to them, but it's unclear whether the artist yearns for childhood, or for the 1950's. Regardless, Roth certainly has a signature style:
