Illustrators worth following this year
Reem Al Jishi
Five illustrators from the region whose work we keep sharing with each other.
Every year our team keeps a shared list of illustrators who surprise us.
Why we follow them
They draw from their own cities, stories and scripts, and their work feels personal rather than trend-driven.
What you can learn
Notice how they use Arabic lettering as part of the image, not just as a caption.
Support their work
Buy a print, commission a piece or simply share their work with credit. It makes a real difference.
