Aidan Hughes is a British commercial artist that specializes in high contrast illustrations. He has been active in the art world for over 30 years now and his style is highly recognizable by thick black lines. He is probably most famous for his album covers for the band KMFDM. A lot of Hughes work uses a black and white color scheme or black and white with accent colors. His primary influence has been stated as Cold War era Russian propaganda. As such, most of his work deals with the idea of violence, oppression, and revolt. For more information, check out his blog.

Thomas Bendel is an architect from Berlin who captivated me with his strong, clean lines and use of earthy concrete and wood in his designs. Everything he has created has a physical strength to the look of the design in shape and materials used. Bendel creates spaces that look like they come from the future yet at the same time could have existed forever. One project that specifically caught my eye was Haus Bold featured above.
His portfolio site doesn’t have an English version but it is fairly easy to navigate. Visit his Projekte section to view galleries of his work.

Kevin Cyr is an artist that has been popping up a lot lately with paintings of old graffiti-laden vans and other industrial vehicles. In my opinion, his sterile compositions are best when viewed in a large group as seen in his recent show at White Walls Gallery in San Francisco. I’ll definitely be keeping my eye on his website for updates and I’m looking forward to seeing the direction he takes his next body of work. It appears that he may be getting into conceptual sculpture, but time will tell.

Laura Laine is an illustrator that takes direct inspiration from notorious Victorian artist Aubrey Beardsley and injects a flow and sense of motion that the classic illustrator never captured. I was very impressed with her portfolio of advertising work, but mostly intrigued by her standalone ‘drawings’ section where there is no product to be sold alongside her figures. See more after the break and much more at the artist’s Website.
