aka Jennifer DeDonato. Another following my cut-paper illustration fetish, Jennifer her cuts are sloppy and imperfect, but carry an emotion and sentiment that reaches out. She makes great use of painted paper to really bring out the textures of her objects. Lots of nice work. And I love that when she combines type, it is a sloppy old typewriter font.
I hate people who are as old as I am, yet are infinitely more awesomer. Micah Smith, a.k.a. My Associate Cornelius, produces gig posters for some heavy hitting bands. His works are fun and playful, usually 2/3 color prints, heavy with halftone effects, grunge brushes, and lots of textures. Very nice portfolio.
Borja Bonaque is an illustrator whose portfolio isn't that vast, but he does have some very nice stylized pieces. Good use of minimal colors and shapes, he creates some goofy people and expansive rooftop landscapes that also look cool on skateboards. Also some nice texturing comes into effect as well.
Jan Feliks Kallwejt is an illustrator who utilizes very stylized objects and shapes, however his landscapes are usually vast and expansive. This leads to the picture becoming very busy, with creatures and ropes and vines and buildings all in a confined space, but it is his spacing that allows these many things to coexist together. His portfolio also includes a few excellent portriats, and some witty t-shirt designs.
Stepping into ignorance, I can't tell what Mick Wiggins does to achieve the look of his work. There are lots of raw canvas etchings with varying colors which make me think Photoshop, his lines are awesome which leads me to think he also uses Illustrator. But I can't get past his gradient blends, sometimes unfocused subject matter, obvious brush strokes, unfitting pathfinder objects, and it makes me think he actually paints these things. Regardless of the process, his style, layout, and design are tremendous. I was floored by his work, and the series of Steinbeck novels he designed for Penguin Classics made me want to buy each of them, frame the cover, and throw away the rest. 
Jordan Michael Gray seems to be a low level grunt at a design firm who makes fantastic poster designs that never get used. His work is striking though, layered with textures and toned down colors, the background usually involves a slight highlight gradient, they flow very nice. His typographical work is also exceptional.
Jeffrey Everett is the guy behind D.C. based El Jefe Design. His portfolio includes everything from gig posters to book covers, corporate brochures, annual reports, restaurant menus and a Rollins Band hotel towel and soap encased cd set. What I enjoy about his gig posters are the colors. Something I was thinking about from the Small Stakes post, was the simplicity of a small-cost 3/4 color poster. El Jefe has some very nice ones, and there's just something to say about using that limitation as a pole vault into awesomeness.
Jeremy Prasatik leads the design studio jp33 which churns out all sorts of work from print ads, to catalogs, t-shirts and web site design. Some of his visual cues are reminiscent of ISO50's style, a good mix of trees, birds, vector rainbows with that grungy retro feel. He does many other things though, he makes greater use of Illustrator for explosions of color and movement, and also enhances photographs with light effects- waves of electricity, or ephemeral radiance. 
Paolo Lim does not have that extensive of a portfolio, and what he does have is scattered throughout multiple websites, but I really liked what I saw of his latest works. His Photoshop collages are awesome, but what really makes them stand out is that he takes them out of the digital realm and composites them onto printed layouts. The Corporate Lo-Fi album (above) was delicately cut out shapes from heavy construction paper and glued together. The work below was from a collection of photographs melded together on textured paper stained with coffee. Very nice effects from different sources adds to his style.
Scott Hansen is a designer whose work comes out of the blending of vector illustrations with photoshop raster images giving a unique and gritty feel to his compositions. His themes strongly revolve around 70's retro colors, outdated computer equipment, nature scenes, sweeping rainbow lines and incredibly textured backgrounds. The print he made for Obama's campaign was said to be a 2.77 GB file. Mammouth. He also has a dj project called Tycho, and a rather impressive blog. 
A design duo of Vicki Wong and Michael Murphy make up Meomi. Usually I don't go for the cutesy critters or mawing monsters, But I must admit the amount of work that goes into these illustrations cannot be missed. The color palettes are perfect and relaxing, and they make use of textures quite nicely. Their impressive flash driven site holds much of their work through commercial cartoons, product identities, books, as well as calendars and videos.
Bombo is an Italian illustrator named Maurizio Santucci. His work has a child-like style to it, but is usually quite full of textures and brushes that make it pop out above others. His most recent "shadow box" installations are things I'd love to do, illustrations cut out on a plotter, and then layered in a 3d manner with depth and shadow effects. I linked to his Flickr site if only that his Milk Gone Bad series can be seen as a octopus-like floor lamp.
A Brazilian illustrator-designer, Cristiano Siqueira has a portfolio that is full of stunningly realistic images. Some of his work is through photoshop where his surreal subject matter is digitized and fragmenting wildly away from itslef. Most of his illustrations are women where his use of color gradients, and gradient meshes are astounding, and his attention to detail is fine and focused. It is also nice to see some very different styles in his client work, comic-like superhero images, contemporary illustrations for food items, even throwbacks to traditional Brazilian illustration styles.
