There is a lot of Ryden influence here, but Chris Buzelli's illustrations are delightful and commercial at the same time. His editorial work is super clean and lush without become overly sweet. I stumbled on his work trolling the web the other day, and had to see more. A self-professed dog lover, he obviously has a great affinity with animals, and clearly practices the idiom to "draw what you love", even for commissions.
He has a blog at www.drawger.com/buzelli with a good selection of his pieces. But here are a handful to enjoy now....
