I am sure he was going to post it himself, but occasional Changethethought contributor Jeffery Bowman appears to have updated his website Mr. Bowlegs with more of his really great work. Jeff is really getting a strong grip on his style and his work just gets more and more fun to look at as he does. He is also a great guy. You can’t miss.

Jeff Proctor has illustrated some of the coolest zombies I have stumbled on in a long time. One of them even ate a skateboard, a baby and a bottle of beer. Top that.

Alex Hohlov’s work has been all over Dropular lately and I finally tracked down the source today. His random digital abstract expressionism works are really attractive but I was really digging the typography work shown above. You can see a lot more of his work in his Flickr-folio as well.

Ben Thomas is a young digital artist and photographer from England. Although Flashy websites that start right off playing music make me want to headbutt my computer monitor (sorry it’s a personal preference), he has some undeniably technically complex digital illustration work in his work that merits a browse through.
