'Green Scarf Girl' by Ella Barnes
 
 
This image is by Ira Sluyterman van Langeweyde, an illustrator and character designer from Munich. I follow the progress of her work via her Instagram account, 'iraville'. 
 
 
This image is from my favourite graphic novel 'Blankets' by Craig Thompson. I read this brick of a book within two days, I just couldn't put it down!
 
Oliver Jeffers is my favourite illustrator. I love his use of mixed media, and the fact even as a young adult his stories still make me giggle.
