Ernesto Caivano

Design for Mankind posted the work of Ernesto Caivano a few days ago and since then I have been obsessed. The line work in his work is amazing and intricate. The pictures shown here in particular are a wonderful example of the dynamic compositions Ernesto accomplishes simply with black ink.

Kevin Ledo - Persuasion Solo Show

You may remember Kevin Ledo's work from a few months back. He has a new solo show coming up in the Montreal area if you are in the neighborhood. "The acrylic paintings are born out of concepts surrounding beauty, desire, and idealism, with a touch of irony." The show runs from July 26 through 28 at CTRLLAB.

Miso - WATIM 12x12

Miso is an Aussie street artist and is a participant in weAREtheIMAGEmakers 12x12 show this summer in both Sydney and Melbourne. It would be an awesome show to check out and a great excuse for someone to send me to Australia.

Alexis Mackenzie

The collage work of Alexis Mackenzie takes the viewer to an alternate world of vintage women and strangely beautiful flora and fauna. There is a nice interview at Fecal Face.

Josh Cochran

Seen on Artist a Day is the work of Josh Cochran. His work has a nice retro color tone to it and for some reason some of his images remind me of the old Johnny Quest cartoons. Which were awesome by the way, and so is Josh's work.

Emmanuel Malin

Emmanuel Malin is a freelance illustrator working in Paris who has some cool concept work in his portfolio.

Impactist

I was introduced to a lovely blog today called Lost and it is full of wonderful things. Impactist is one of these things and is the collaborative work of married directors Kelly Meador and Daniel Elwing. I love the way the building washes out into the sky in the image above.

Jinyoung Shin

Spotted over on Changethethought is the work of Jinyoung Shin. Her work is a fantastic dream world of lanky figures and foreboding colors with a little manga influence for good measure.

Erik Nordenankar - Biggest Drawing in the World

Erik Nordenankar used the help of GPS and DHL to create the Biggest Drawing in the World.

Update: Erik's project has been receiving a lot of discussion and had to add a little note to his site. Turns out it was his graduation project and is fictional in that DHL never delivered the package. I still think it is a well done project, especially for generating the buzz it did.

Lucy McLauchlan - Beat13

Beat13 was founded by Lucy McLauchlan and and Matt Watkins in Birmingham in 1999. Their site says it best. "It all began with drawing. Musical instruments next. Then came the computers. Making friends, music, and things happen are our favourite hobbies." This is also an article in the June Juxtapoz about Lucy and her work.

Sighn ITS OK Project

Sighn has taken on one of the most ambitious "limited" edition projects of his life. The hand carved one million ITS OK sculptures is expected to take 60 years to finish. Sighn recently emailed me an update with photos from the install of 1000 of the blocks. You can get your own at Multi Polar Projects.

Tessar Lo

Tessar Lo was featured yesterday on Kitsune Noir's DWP. I would have to say it is the best wallpaper featured so far and Tessar is an extremely talented illustrator. Check out Lo's work and his blog.

Chris Dent

Chris Dent has an insanely intricate style with the pen and ink. He has been busy lately and Zoo York recently commission some art for their clothing line. Dent's line drawings of New York make for some great t-shirt graphics.

Valero Doval

Great little portfolio of collage style works from Valero Doval.

Bruno Leyval - Awake Studio

Founder of Awake Studio is French artist Bruno Leyval. He has an amazing ink style that screams with emotion. via Artskills

Tiffany Bozic Interview over at My Love For You

I have highlighted Tiffany Bozic's work before and it is always amazing to dive into her world or mysterious yet real creatures. Meighan from My Love For You has a great interview with Bozic that is well worth the read. For those in the LA area Tiffany will be having a show at Kinsey/DesForges starting May 24th.

Joshua Davis at OFFF

Joshua Davis has been one of my favorite artists for a few years now. His work is always of a super fine quality and very beautiful. Regine over at We Make Money Not Art has a wonderful recap of the keynote speech at OFFF given by Davis.

Colagene Emergency Guide

Colagene Emergency Guide, originally uploaded by twenty2wo.

Yesterday I received the Colagene Emergency Guide. Colagene is an illustrators representation clinic and the guide book features the work of 18 superb illustrators including Coco who I have featured before. I am sure I will post more links but you can order a guide for yourself or if you are a design professional its free.

Nicholas Di Genova - Mediumphobic

Nicholas Di Genova - Mediumphobic, originally uploaded by twenty2woblog.

I was digging through some really old bookmarks and found Nicholas Di Genova's work again. Nick is an amazing illustrator from Toronto and has a sick pen and ink style. He is also part of the project called On the Road of Knives, a collaborative illustrations of fighting beasts. Awesome stuff.

Mike Harrison - Destill
