I’m a big supporter of San Francisco-based artist Wendy Macnaughton’s idea of illustrator being a visual journalist — an observer, whose work depicts the world around them with dexterity of the sharp eye and mind. Here are five illustrators I follow on Instagram who are doing exactly that:
1. Janne Iivonen
2. Christoph Niemann
3. Jean Jullien
4. Yu Nagaba

5. Simone Massoni
Who are your favorite illustrators?
Would love to get your suggestions to editor@arthurious.com.
