I have a soft spot for photorealistic pencildrawings... I can't believe how good some of her work are, the girl with the big glasses

, the leg-letters... She is also one of the few I know that has several different styles she is equally good at, even though I left out some of her "computerized" drawings that I don't like so much. And oh, she has a website with nothing on yet : www.jocandraw.com

Estella* · 03-08-2006

thanks for the thread, angie! i really like some of the ornamental and dark illustrations, like seventies' psychedelic turned black and white...

**MulletProof** · 11-08-2006

great stuff. she definitely has an eye for color..and the fact that most of her work seems to be lacking in strong lines yet it's perfectly defined, it only makes it more intriguing.

thanks for bringing that in, angie!.

Angie,
You fail not to discover brilliant illustrators.
Her work is great, i love her coloured pieces a lot.

This work is great too. Did she work with pictures which she took or it's just draw?
