Andy Watt - Illustrator

I love this style of illustration. Andy Watt has done work for the Guardian and many other newspapers and magazines. He emulates the character of Gerald Scarfe's work but with much more intricate lines. His subjects are given dark sunken eyes and wispy hair that makes the texture and detail so interesting. The use of block colour is sophisticated and adds contrast and emphasis to the detail of his pieces.

You can see more of his work here;
