Been reading this article this afternoon from Computer Arts about Illustration and the way that photography seemed to take over as a way of documenting for a while, but that illustration/print has come back and is now as popular as it was in the 60's and 70's. Illustration is now more widely seen through large corporate brands who now regularly use illustration to differentiate themselves. The sheer number of different styles is forever growing and it seems that illustration isn't as accepted as illustration in a digital format as much anymore.
It's a brilliant article and I feel that I can agree with a lot of the statements made, it's also made me feel a little better about where illustration is going. It's hard to stand out in a crowd but the kinds of images I'm producing at the moment are images of today.
