Jonathan Bartlett is a New York based illustrator, whose clients include Wired Magazine, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, The Atlantic, Ralph Lauren, Tor Books, Penguin Random House and many others.
Bartlett’s approach involves a wonderfully effective combination of textural rendering and dramatic, theatrical lighting, along with a controlled use of color, in which certain colors — often reds — are held in reserve for key passage within the composition.
I particularly enjoy his works in which the majority of the composition is dark, punctuated with glowing areas of illumination.

Fatastic! I’d not heard of him before this – do you know if he works in traditional media or digitally? Doesn’t seem to be explained on his website.
I assumed digital, but I don’t actually know.
This interview is from 2011, but for a question asked regarding traditional vs. digital, he wrote “I personally work with both together, back and forth; it’s a very incestuous relationship”:
