General Illustrator Design

I would like to take this opportunity to display all the design that has been done in illustrator that I like, and would like to be reproducing in the futute.

Firstly, since I came across the NIGHTWISH (OMG NIGHTWISH!!) tour poster that Joe Whyte drew, it was love at first sight. His style is very bitchin' :D His own personal drawing style is exciting and actually quite varied, and then the way he technically executes it is brilliant. He says on his site "My goal is to continually develop my illustration and push it in new directions. I produce work in a range of mediums, from traditional charcoal drawings right through to entirely digital vector illustrations. "
Here is his website http://www.joewhyte.com.au/welcome.html (I highly recommend him to EVERYONE) and here are some of his great peices. He does a lot of music posters and things like cd covers and tshirts etc. I admire his work very much.

I also want to point out the style of a french artist Arthur de Pins, here is his site http://www.arthurdepins.com/, he has an awesome style, and he dabbles in creating animations out of his vectors too! here is a screenshot of some of the thumbnails on his page.

These vector images are more generic "pretty" designs that I am very attracted to. I like the use of black with a lot of them,a nd the ones with figures I especially like the usage of negative space to produce the image. I would like to be able to do more design stuff like this. I compare it to Huw's work actually, i really admire his pretty style.
