Antonia Pesenti

"Graphic illustrator" Antonia Pesenti combines traditional pen and ink illustration with digital techniques. Sift through the many drawings of shops and markets and check out her maps and info graphics—her illustrative take on these feels surprisingly fresh in today's realm of clean-cut graphic symbology. Pesenti's work should give some hope to other illustrators, who are constantly passed over for default photography and clip art when it comes to image spots in magazine and ads. Many of Pesenti's pieces also demonstrate how designers can incorporate illustration into their work (or at least consider it as an option, which we don't do often enough). [via Drawn!]
