Style inspiration: Yuko Shimazu
I've seen a lot of Yuko Shimazu's work in the Society of Illustrators and also American Illustration. She has received many awards, and seems to be everywhere (though I don't remember seeing her work in daily life). Her art is dynamic and thought-provoking, detailed and has a lot of visual depth and rhythm. It's hard to know where to start, because her art seems to be so well known, but I've picked out a few that I think exemplify her art's characteristics. I also like that they have female 'protagonists,' because they are awesome.

I love her work, too. And "rhythm" is definitely in the description.
