We simply love the illustrative style of James Gilleard, so expressive and colorful, while looking thoroughly modern and distinctive. Â His earlier dinosaur atlas presented creatures that have a great retro-future style, and this newest series continues the trend. Created for a book entitled Saving Species, the lovingly illustrated animals showcase some of Earth’s most threatened animals, including Orangutans, porpoises, tigers, gorillas, and more. It’s a tragic reality that so many beautiful creatures are endangered, but thankfully people like Gilleard are bringing attention to the issue. Really great work.
