Ruben Ireland mixes some digital with traditional methods to produce his imagery and the results yielded make for some delectable eye candy. He’s not afraid to experiment and mix it up either which could make for some more interesting work in the future.

Daniel Kennedy spends his time taking pictures of celebrities and gorgeous models but sometimes wishes he’d been a designer after spending much time picking fonts for his latest website. Daniel, I would be happy to trad for a month if you’d like to just try on the shoes and see if they fit. I promise to keep my desk chair warm for you so long as you line up a really sexy shoot. Think ‘micro-bikini’.
Amanda Nedham’s imaginative drawings and watercolors pay homage to classicism but draw inspiration from nature and dreams pushing them into the realm of the surreal.
It’s been over a year since we said anything about photographer Ryan McGinley and in that time he has filled his cup with beautiful, whimsical images that make you want to strip down with a sparkler in hand and run off into the woods.
If anything could be said for photographer Todd Fisher, he is a keen observer always on the lookout for a window into a larger albeit potentially disturbing scene to preserve for all eternity.
I gotta say that the more Lain Macarthur produces, the more I love his work. It just keeps getting better and better. He’s still very young too which points toward a long and productive career as an illustrator. His recent series inspired by the movie Black Swan is very well rendered but maintains a grit that makes the imagery accessibly artistic. Good stuff.

Unfortunately Adam Neate’s website is somewhat difficult to use but Today And Tomorrow along with Trendland have done a fine job documenting and providing large images of his ‘Flock Series’ of 3D paintings created for Elms Lester Painting Rooms.

There are lots of new sexy, strange and surreal illustrations in the portfolio of 3D illustrator and concept artist Pascal Blanché whose aptly calling his playground the ‘Derelict Planet’. We would happily take up residence there.
Director Kristoffer Borgli takes us on a bit of a surreal acid trip with the help of cinematographer Håvard Byrkjeland for the single ‘Wander’ by Heartfelt. The dark visuals accompanied by the sometimes ‘up’ music create some serious tension.
“Celebrating the breathtaking imagination and groundbreaking designs of Lee Alexander McQueen, the latest fashion film by Nick Knight pays tribute to McQueen’s sensational creations, stellar career, and most importantly to the man himself. Directed by Knight and set to an exclusive soundtrack by Björk, the film is featured online at SHOWstudio.com.”
We couldn’t agree more with this comment on Vimeo, “McQueen, Knight & Bjork : just the perfect trio.” Well said.
Painter Kim Manfredi’s work sometimes blurs the line between abstract expressionism and subject based painting by giving abstract forms a dimensionality that makes them appear almost as if they are physical objects.
