The collages you see here are complex to the point of being hypnotic. They are, at the same time, both visual "white noise" and layers of images to become immersed in.

Ed Binkley

Concept artist and illustrator Ed Binkley has crafted a style of illustration that seems at once old and new.

His finely detailed, almost monochromatic images feel as though they are from another time, or perhaps another place, with fantasy subjects inhabiting misty woods and glades, all drawn with meticulous care.

Of his work, He says: "My vision is like a dream, whether it's a sweet dream, a nightmare, or just a trippy dream. I try to see what's really going on in my mind, and that's a practice to increase my awareness in stream-of-consciousness creativity. I try not to label or think about what is supposed to be, just take it in as it is and paint whatever I see in my mind with no compromise. That way, I create my own vision."

She was a panelist for the Society of Publication Design speaker series: 'Do it with Illustration: Under the Influence with Today's Most Arresting Illustrators".  Also, being one of 25 artists chosen for The American Illustration Time Line exhibit, her work is traveling globally in honor of the 25th anniversary of the annual book.  Prior to this, she was invited into the contemporary illustration exhibit The Fabulous Coloured Pencils of the World,  hosted by Cultural Association Teatrio in Rome , which included 43 women artists from around the world.
