I just happened across design blog Core77‘s ongoing series, Masters of the Cutaway. Some of it seems lifted from Kevin Hulsey‘s much more in-depth Masters Gallery: Art of the Cutaway, but there are a few illustrators you might not know about:
- Part 1: Hans Jenssen
- Part 2: Frank Soltesz and L. Ashell Wood
- Part 3: Yoshihiro Inomoto
- Part 4: Stephen Biesty
- Part 5: Graham Bleathman
- Part 6: Christopher & Matt Cushman
- Part 7: Richard Chasemore
- Part 8: The Das Brothers & Roger Stewart

Stephen Biesty is a beast! He is one of the reasons I became interested in Technical Illustration in the first place. Hans and Richard are perhaps my greatest inspiration. Great list, James!
