Comments Off on Pavel RipleyIllustration
I am really digging the varied styles of illustrator Pavel Ripley. There is some very nice work on his website that ranges all over the map for an illustrator but in every instance each image is highly realized at an accomplished skill level.
Comments Off on Akeno OmokotoIllustration
Akeno Omokoto is a young Spanish ‘digital’ illustrator living in Galicia. After spending nearly 10 years studying art he decided to quit his program and try his hand at working as a freelance illustrator. He has a varied style, a wealth of technical know-how and is always searching for new inspiration to enrich his work.

Comments Off on James McCarthyArt
Artist James McCarthy paints some really really trippy imagery. Like far out, acid flashback, Dali-dream outer-space type shit. Once you get over all of that, you can then begin to take in how incredibly talented he must be to actually paint what he paints.
He has a truly gifted hand.
Comments Off on Bandito Design Co: UpdatesGraphic Design
Design studio Bandito has kept busy and it looks like there are a lot of new prints in their shop since I last dropped in. I am a fan of their simple, retro and super fun style.
Comments Off on NFN KalyanArt
Miami-based artist NFN Kalyan created several sculptural portraits for an ongoing series he entitled ‘Nature of the Beast’. The portrait boxes are comprised of 20+ laser etched glass panes and are backlit with LED lighting contained within in a walnut base. The frames for each portrait was hand drawn by Kalyan. Way way cool.
Comments Off on Ian Coyle: Field NotesWeb Design
I stumbled across the ‘Field Notes’ of Ian Coyle today and was thoroughly impressed by his work. Ian used to live here in Denver and was a partner at the now defunct web agency FL2. Since then he has relocated to Oregon and he has continued to do some great work since he’s been out there which you can see through his field notes.
Comments Off on MegatheriumIllustration
Andrede Freitas has a unique digital illustration style that still feels very painterly. His ‘zombie’ series of recognizable pop figures is pure genius and his work is all kinds of fun to look at.
Comments Off on Li Wei: UpdatesPhotography
The ever-inspiring photographer known as Li Wei has updated with yet again a flurry of mind-bending imagery that all appear as though they were somehow magically captured in camera.
Comments Off on The Arab SpringMotion Graphics
“An abstracted visual interpretation of the creation of the Arab Spring. While not setting out to to be a polemic, this short is an optimistic piece about the amazing manifestation of people power that is the Arab Spring. Please note: The cube is NOT meant to represent the Ka’abal.” Well okay then. Credits go to Marxº
Comments Off on Yker Moreno: UpdatesMotion Graphics
I’ve been a fan of Yker Moreno’s work for several years now. He keeps himself so busy at Buck that he rarely updates his portfolio much anymore. But he recently posted a few new tender nuggets of design and motion inspiration in his beloved book.
Always worth checking out.

Comments Off on Nelson BalabanArt
One of my favorite young designers who is now becoming a shit-hot illustrator, Nelson Balaban participated in his first ever solo exhibition a few weeks back. The show was titled ‘Selfish’ (hence the great self portrait above) and he managed to generate some very inspiring imagery for the show. You can take a look here.
