Alex Gross

[weblink] Illustrator, Painter

One of my favorite artists (recently discovered) would have to be Alex Gross. I find his work to be truly captivating and worthy of attention. He mixes classic 20’s inspired commercial art styles with modern day themes. The kind of work that is better seen than described by me, so go there now if you can spare a few.

Blank Water

[weblink] Comics, Illustrator

Great web comic with some very funny dialogue. The art style is minimalist but wildly inventive. Worth a click or six.

Camille Rose Garcia

[weblink] Comic-Art Style, Illustrator, Painter

Camille Rose Garcia is an amazing artist who’s paintings are truly something to behold. I would describe her use of color as distressed 50’s retro, but her subject matter is in a world of it’s own.

Exploding Dog

[weblink] Comics, Illustrator

hi my name is sam, i draw pictures, from your titles.” And that’s exactly what he does. Very cool stick-figure art. With a nice, slightly psycho feel. I dig it.

Gary Taxali

[weblink] Comic-Art Style, Illustrator

I first remember coming across Gary Taxali’s work in Rolling Stone. It definitely caught my attention. I really like the way his work has an unfinished and raw quality. (Not unlike this review.) Check out his site.

Isabel Samaras

[weblink] Illustrator, Painter

Isabel Samaras is a tremendous painter and illustrator with a particular talent for portraiture. Her site is a wealth of interesting and unusual images. Check it.

By the way, if you happen to be lucky enough to be in the NYC area (sadly I am not), she is having a showing at the one and only Jonathan LeVine Gallery.

Joe Sorren

[weblink] Comic-Art Style, Illustrator, Painter

Joe Sorren has some wonderful paintings and bronze sculpture on his site that is really worth paying a visit to. The exaggerated features on many of his subject’s faces really appeals to me, and his mastery of the difficult task of drawing/painting the human hand is striking. Check it out.

Jordan Isip

[weblink] Illustrator, Multimedia Artist

Jordan Isip is a multimedia artist who’s work is definitely worth checking out. There is a certain iconic quality to his illustrations that I find to be very engaging. See if you don’t agree.  read more »

Khang Le

[weblink] Concept-Artist, Illustrator, Painter

khang Lee has some truly beautiful and amazing paintings on his site, many of the “concept-art” variety. He has a strong ability to suggest his forms rather than always recording every detail. Well worth a visit.

M.C. Escher

[weblink] Graphic Artist, Illustrator, Surrealism

I have loved Escher’s work from the first moment I saw it as a young man. I am sure that sentiment is pretty universal and that everyone on Earth is familiar with his work. If not, his official site is linked below.  read more »

Plankton Art Co.

[weblink] Artist Collective, Illustrator, Painter

The Plankton Art Co. is a very talented duo comprised of Susan and Allen Crawford. Much like ye ol’ Riddle Design Works, this husband and wife team has painted, illustrated, sculpted and designed many an art piece together. Well worth a visit.

Richard Pose

[weblink] Comics, Illustrator

Richard Pose has some good illustrations and comics on his site that you might want to check out. The navigation on his site seemed broken in places, so if you get stuck, I’ve listed links both to the main page and the comics section as well.

Shag

[weblink] Illustrator, Painter, Tiki Art

For several years I have been a big fan of the art of Josh Agle (better known as Shag). He is a painter/illustrator/designer with a very cool retro/vector/flat-art style to his work. He does the Tiki Torch/mod scooter thing to perfection. I highly recommend you check out his site. Shag is Go!

Snagt

[weblink] Illustrator, Photographer

Snagt.net features the work of an artist named Pyhai. There is a neat, whimsical, cartoonish feel to her work that I find appealing. I think you will too, check it out if you have a few minutes.

Son of DaVinci

[weblink] Comics, Illustrator, Painter

Son of DaVinci features the excellent artwork of Micah J. Gunnell. The user interface on his site is interesting in and of itself. Make sure to browse through the Inks and Colors and Sequentials sections of his site. Good stuff.

Stephen Gilpin

Stephen Gilpin is a fantastic painter, illustrator and comic artist with a very cool style to his work that I really like. Pay his site a visit, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

Tara McPherson

[weblink] Flyer/Poster Art, Illustrator, Painter

McPherson’s done a lot of incredible poster art for some excellent, top-shelf bands. All of the stuff on her site is worth a looksee, but her posters are definitely worth a trip alone. Don’t make me tell you twice!
