17 Awesome Illustrators You Need To Follow On Instagram

During our most recent #TakeoverTuesday, team Lily  asked our Instagram followers to name their favorite illustrator for the opportunity to win one of their signature pins.

We like pins. We want to give you one of our @thelilynews pins. Comment with your favorite illustrator and we’ll pick a random winner tomorrow. Thanks to @avivaloeb for allowing us to extend the contest from this #takeover.

VIP closet 🙄 Here’s my fifth and last illustration for #Smirnoff’s love project, in reply to hate tweets against LGBT 🏳️‍🌈 It was a pleasure to work on this series of illustrations, trying to target online hate and transforming their message into something positive and open minded 🙂 . Let’s show some love 👍✨💕 1 in 3 people in the LGBT+ community have experienced online abuse and as part of a collective of artists, I’m responding to hate with some works of love in collaboration with @smirnoffeurope . . . #PrideInLondon #LovehappensHere #ChooseLove #love #nohate #vip #closet #securityguard #illustration #character #characterdesign #london #graphicdesign
