Imaginism is a group of artists, working mostly with pre-production for movies and children books. I am mostly familiar with the work of the founder and co-founder of the group, Bobby Chiu and Kei Acedera. Even though they aren't directly related to animation, their art has a certain quality to it that makes the images comes to life. It often feels like you could jump into the picture and enter a living breathing world.

They also do a lot to help other aspiring artists. For example they founded
Schoolism, which offers classes similar in style to iAnimate.
Imaginism continues to amaze and inspire me, they seem to have an endless pool of ideas to draw from. Their art also reminds me to continue to push myself, to think outside the box and pursue a style of animation that is as endearing as their art is.
To finish this post off, my favorite illustration, drawn by Bobby Chiu:
