Andrew Bannecker

I recently discovered the wonderful illustrator Andrew Bannecker on Beautiful Decay, and must confess I'm utterly smitten — besides having a wonderful sense of colour, his work is infused with charm and humour. Have a look at more on his lovely website, his blog — and shop, too, where you can purchase prints of his work.
