Jacqueline Chaumont

I can't tell you anything about this illustrator, sadly, but I came across these on the wonderful blog of Agence Eureka. There's a particular talent in doing so much with so little, as in these brilliantly simple illustrations. See lots more from this series here.

Erik Nitsche

Erik Nitsche (September 7, 1908 - November 14, 1998) was a Swiss-born designer who, after moving to the United States at the age of 26, had a long and successful career as a graphic designer and art director. He's most famous for the work he did for General Dynamics, the engineering company, but also created many iconic record album and book covers. I love his abstract geometric images humanized by delicate color palettes. Enjoy!
