An international survey of contemporary illustration, showcasing vibrant individual talents on their own and in collaboration with one another
Illustration is experiencing a remarkable renaissance: the engagingly human, witty, and intricate work of contemporary illustrators is at the forefront of contemporary visual culture, viewed by audiences worldwide.This outstanding and original survey brings together the talents of fifty leading illustrators from more than twenty countries. The book is divided into two interleaved strands. First, work by artists such as Julia Rothman, Whitney Sherman, and Mike Perry is presented along with an interview that explores their inspirations and motivations.
The second strand is a collaborative project with illustrators working in pairs to create original work on twenty-five themes suggested by the author ranging from “beauty” to “beast,” from “speed” to “excess.” Each of the collaborations is accompanied by a joint interview with the two illustrators reviewing the work created. As a result, half the work has been created exclusively for the book and never before seen. 350+ color illustrations

Illustration Next is a collection of contemporary illustrations. 320 pages, hardcover. It's compiled by illustrator Ana Benaroya who's done a good job selecting the pieces and conducting interviews with all the 50 artists included.
In additional to the artworks by individual artists, there are also 25 pieces created by two collaborating artists. It's quite interesting to see the creative mix of styles, that's on top of the eclectic variety already in the book.
Good book for those into contemporary illustrations.
