Stanford Kay has a developed a beautiful, playful theme for his paintings: Bookshelves.   The most recent series, Gutenburg variations, causes this boy a gushing smile.  Darling! More Below. (more…)

Todd Baxter is a photographer who’s portfolio is bright, colorful, and fun, but his latest set of images entitled “Owl Scouts” is really a cut above the rest of his work. Check out his site for the full set, and more of my favorites below. (more…)

Sam Wolfe Connelly caught my attention with his drawings that have a great aesthetic and interesting subject matter. Check out more of his work below and at his website. (more…)

Nimit Malavia‘s portfolio is quite robust and diverse. The illustrator, designer, painter from Ottawa, Ontario appears to have the skills to do it all. His portfolio includes several fantastic drawings, paintings, and even graphic design work.

Malavia has some prints of his personal works available for purchase in his webstore for reasonable prices in small editions.

Enjoy more work below and at the artist’s website. (more…)

John Ryan Solis captured my eye with his interesting compositions and subject matter. His studies in contrast (see below) and focus on the organic flowing shapes of human hair are very intriguing. Some of his work features a bit of illustrated nudity so it may be nsfw. View more below and much more at his website. (more…)

I stumbled upon Andrew Hem‘s work recently and found his painting quite interesting. He’s got a website with a bunch of work to look at and a store with painted matchboxes which I got a chuckle out of. Enjoy more of his work below and at his website. (more…)

I recently stumbled upon the work of Caitlin Hackett and was quite impressed. Her style brings to mind that of John Dyer Baizley without the thick linework and Pushead, metal & punk graphic influence. The photo below of the artist working on a drawing shows the scale of at least one of her pieces, and i’d imagine with the amount of detail presented here, most of her works are created at a decent size. Enjoy more images after the break and check out her full portfolio at carbonmade. (more…)

Jackson Hackenwerth is a very unique artist who creates sculptures completely out of balloons. The artist’s work could be described as suspended or wearable brightly colored inflated viruses and parasites, with a sense of humor. These seemingly temporary sculptures are then captured in photos which you can see at Hackenwerth’s website which also has some limited photographic art prints available. It really seems like you’d have to experience these in person to fully appreciate the way the air movement in the room would make these creations come to life. More photos and video below. (more…)

Richard Mosse did this incredible photo set of  Eastern Congo entitled “Quick”.  These are not photoshopped, but taken with Kodak Aerochrome infrared film. (more…)

Another source of fantastical artistry has been discovered! Designer and illustrator Florian Satzinger has amazing drawings with lots of style and attitude to feed your artistic appetite.

Over at his blog, you can find his most recent works and little process explanations from him on each one. He is working on a graphic novel, StarDucks, and his progress on that book can also be followed on his blog. Many more images and previews after the break. (more…)
