Michael Willis works ‘in and around’ London where he pulls together psychedelic collages from what I am guessing is found imagery from ‘in and around’ the internet.

What is it about collage these days that brings about such a spiritual catharsis? It’s popular now and I am guessing it will continue to be and if I can hazard one more guess the reason being that there is something special about pulling some kind of order out of the chaotic ocean of imagery that is now available to us as illustrators and designers. Personally, I love to pull together images off of blogs and out of Google to reassemble strange new imagery that pokes and prods at the pop art-laden section of our consumer brains.

Michael is very good at this and he adds a splash of bright color to heighten the reaction.

‘Dark and beautiful’ are words that surface in the mind to describe the illustrative works of German artist Marco Wagner.

Illustrator Darion McCoy has a strange distorted psychedelic style that stems from what must be a vivid imagination.

Illustration studio Kittozutto has updated both their website and their portfolio since we last dropped in. They have cornered their own little niche of soft airbrushed 80’s influenced illustration using a palette of bright colors. They are also running a much more active Flickrstream where you can keep tabs on the progress of the production of their unique illustrations. If you’d like to learn a little more about how they produce their imagery you can pick up on a little tutorial at Digital Arts.

Sculptor Emil Alzamora was originally born in Peru but was raised in Florida where he attended Florida State University. His writhing, elongated, fattened and distorted human forms are disturbingly beautiful in their smooth vivid detail. There are a few images of his work at his website but more more can be seen through a simple Google image search.

The infamous 123 Klan has posted a new show reel for 2011. They are still on top of their game and owning their style after what constitutes a very long time in this industry.

Painter Eric Yahnker has posted some new work to his website, maybe not his most cerebral but still at the level of craftsmanship that his audience has come to expect. His work still continues to inspire.

“There is a myth, some say a science, suggesting people who have more symmetrical faces are considered more “attractive…”

Photographer Julian Wolkenstein has assembled a fascinating study to challenge or perhaps even reinforce that myth (so far it looks more like a challenge). The project utilizes self-shot iPhone pics as well as images snapped by Wolkenstein himself to take a broad look at what exactly everyone looks like when they are perfectly symmetrical.
