SENSE OF ILLUSTRATION
Commissioned illustration is a collaborative endeavor. Illustrators attempt to maintain their point of view, on a deadline, across rounds of feedback from multiple stakeholders. It is an exercise in creativity within constraints.
publshd is a free industry resource that celebrates the craft, archives the work and connects the community of contemporary illustration.

Featured Illustration Articles
A close look at how a single illustration works
Featured Illustration Articles read a single illustration deeply, looking at its composition, the conceptual decisions behind it, the art-historical lineage it draws from and the cultural moment it’s answering. Illustration deserves the same serious attention given to any other field of art-making.

Read the full FeatureIllustration Forecast
Illustrations make sense one at a time. Looked at together, they reveal so much more.
The Illustration Forecast brings a human point of view to the work being made, reading the illustrations not as isolated images but as a cultural barometer for what illustrators are reckoning with, what visual languages are emerging, what’s getting commissioned, and what you may have missed.
