These geometric neck danglers are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the talents of Lucie Veilleux. The jewellery designer from la belle province has two different Etsy shops dedicated to her metal and wood work respectively. Acorns, butterflies and nature-inspired baubles abound. Sweet stuff!

He’s an illustrator and concept artist living in Toronto (never heard of it) who loves pb&j’s and has an impressive batch of client work under his belt. Hurrah!!

Oh to live in a teenie tiny city riding on a giant armadillo in the sky! And that’s just one of many fantastical creations from illustrator and paper sculptor, Jessica Knibb. From collages to intricately folded manuscripts, she makes all sorts of lovely things from her home in Galway, Ireland. Awesome!

There is a lovely, quiet simpleness to Amelia Coffaro’s Pretty Little Things series. They’re innocent, beautiful and mysterious. The 28-year-old freelance photographer has temporarily set aside her camera to go toe-to-toe with stage III breast cancer. She is a spirited gal with a great team of folks behind her helping raise funds for treatment. We’re eager to see her fully back on her feet and putting more pretty pictures out into the world. Go Amelia go!

Daniel N. Djanie’s portfolio is chock-a-block with great illustration and character design work but there’s something extra special about his backgrounds. From a quiet suburban street to a busy sky city, he creates colorful scenes that are ready and waiting for the story to unfold. Hurrah!

Have no fear, Exit Man is here! Okay, perhaps a little fear is justified considering the skies in his world are filled with xylophonic monkeys and tentacled death cats. But, he is a superhero nonetheless for doodling up such awesome creatures. We find it all rather neat.

It wouldn’t be a stretch to imagine that Oscar Castelao is a lover of the great outdoors. From skyrunning to mushing to chasing celestial objects through the night sky, he excels at capturing awe-inspiring moments involving mother nature. You can almost smell the fresh air just looking at ‘em! Good stuff.

A giant water weasel spinning beats in the Big Apple? That’s otterly ridiculous! Okay, so some of us here at Carbonmade HQ have a little soft spot for otter folk but that doesn’t change the fact Ali Gulec’s doodles are completely rad. In his world, skulls reign supreme but you can also travel by llamabus or in the company of a super stylin’ deer family. Sign us up!

There are a lot of reasons to like Pergy Acuña. Primarily, she’s hella crafty and makes amazing felt and papercut creations. But she also rocks an above average appreciation of a little lip fur. Her love of moustaches makes her tops in our books! Be sure to follow her papercut process blog aptly named The Cutting Mat.

Fernanda Frick’s got a great name and she’s a darn fine animator and illustrator. Seems unfair, really. Nevertheless, from boxes of rescued bunnies to roly-poly planets, this Chilean gal creates awesome characters in scenes full of lovely color. She’s definitely one to watch!

In amongst beautiful washy yellows, blues, browns and greys, you’ll find wolves, bears, owls and other organic life. She also does amazing embroidery work. Good job!

It’s almost impossible to browse through Martina Masetti’s gorgeous photos without getting a massive case of wanderlust. She makes pictures as pretty as a postcard from her homeland in Italy and points all over Europe. Her colors are great and her scenes are beyond idyllic. Her Tumblr is also darn sweet and worth a follow!

For a portfolio chock full of grittier street, skateboard and graffiti art scenes, Rob Brinson serves up some pretty tasty landscapes. It’s like a palette cleanser for world-weary eyebulbs. Enjoy!

As a seasoned creative director/copywriter in NYC, Todd Beeby has worked on everything from Eggo waffles to the U.S. Army. One of his 60 second spots for Jim Beam puts Willem Dafoe through a series of chameleon-like changes as he ponders how the choices one makes define who they become. In addition to the work, his About page does a great job of summing up personal highlights and contributions through his years of freelance and agency work. Well done!
