The Illustration of Jeremy Hush
Few artists have managed to so effortlessly bridge the gap between classic and modern illustration as Jeremy Hush. Using ink and watercolor, Hush employs a technique that flourished over a century ago during the Golden Age of Illustration. At first glance, you might even mistake Hush's illustrations as older works commissioned for classic fairytales, yet closer inspection reveals a world of cracks and kinks and an artist well acquainted with the tropes of modern fantasy. While many of his peers have embraced digital media, Hush continues to carve out his space in traditional mediums. Though most of his work is watercolor on paper, he is also an artist that has done work with wood and glass. Not only are Hush's illustrations beautiful, they also manage to convey a mysterious and macabre fantasy world in miniature.
