Illustrator: Carine Brancowitz

Carine Brancowitz is a French illustrator who reminds me a bit of Andrea Joseph, one of my favorites. Brancowitz uses brilliant colors of ballpoint pens and intricate patterns to create interesting compositions. Furthermore, these drawings are not limited to small sketchbook pages, but some reach to almost 4 feet! The work is trendy, but in a good way. Check out her portfolio on her site (both client and personal), and watch the video to get a closer look (it's different from any "showcase" video I've seen).

I was interested in her bio, and according to Rich Soil Clothing, Carine "spent her childhood in the woods of her family's castle in France. When she turned 16, she moved to Paris to study illustration at the Paris school of arts, Ecole Estienne. Her career began in 1996 as the Junior Art Director at a Parisian communications agency specializing in fashion and trends."

...Her family has a castle??
