    Many artists try to flood their images with light; others allow intermittent bursts of it within a framework of darkness.

    Here we go again, another intriguing young (I presume) illustrator who provides little background information on his own site, so I’ve dug around for what I could find.

    Studio Rayyan is home to husband and wife illustrators Omar Rayyan and Sheila Rayyan. The tongue in cheek “Who are we” section on their site provides little information of real use, except that Omar is of Middle-Eastern descent (could we have guessed?) and is allergic to yaks (always good to know).
