The Jacky Winter Group "connects Australian illustration talent with an international client base" by featuring illustrators struggling to increase their profile outside of Australia and make a full-time living plying their trade.
The agency's website features work by the select group of illustrators which show off the diverse talent each one has. They range from more tradition illustrations, to digitally created ones. You can browse by artist or by category of work (ie advertising, fashion, environmental etc).
The above illustration is called Genesis by Justin Maller. He creates his illustrations digitally and often montages them with photography to create his own unique style.
