German illustrator Maike Plenzke is still in the early stages of her career, as evidenced by the presence of some school related projects on her blog and website, but she is off to a very promising start.
Her nicely stylized approach uses a muted color palette, theatrical application of lights and darks and a vibrant feeling of texture.
I particularly enjoy the way she works elements of patterns and graphic shapes into her background objects, fabrics and plant forms.
