WK Interact now has a website featuring all of his amazing efforts. He may have had one before but I never knew until now. Either way, it is worth taking a look through. When I was in NYC a few weeks back I saw a lot of his work all over the city.

Comments Off on Darren BoothTypography
I wrote about the hand-lettered paintings of Darren Booth on the last version of Changethethought and was reminded of his unique talent today. I realized it had been a long time since I had mentioned him and thought it might be high time for another nod in his direction. Do check out his work because something special does happen when type is hand painted.

Computational architects, We Are Dag were selected as one of the five finalists in the SXSW Web Awards.
They have some wild, virtually indescribable code-driven artwork in their portfolio. I wish I knew how to create work like that. Unfortunately (although I worked as a Flash developer for 3 years) I have since tried to stray from code at every turn.
Comments Off on Mike Giant: White Walls SFArt
The results of Mike Giant’s recent show at White Walls SF can currently be seen at the White Walls website. I was absolutely blown away, especially when you consider that all of the work is sharpie, pen and ink. I have been working with vector art for more than a decade now and to see someone bang out something that looks like a vector by hand is pretty amazing. The type work is phenomenal as well. Again just unreal that it is done by hand. The fact that Giant signs his work with a thumb print makes the pieces even more indescribably awesome.
A lot of the work is still available for purchase as well and if you are a collector you can’t miss. If you can afford an expensive art purchase in this economy please help support this artist because his work is top notch.

The weird, wonderful and (let’s be honest) slightly disturbing inner-world combined with a unique slant on the outer-world from the inarguably fascinating mind of Olaf Breuning.

Comments Off on Gretchen Etc.Illustration
“Just in case we haven’t been properly introduced, my name is Gretchen Nash. When I am not designing I enjoy doing things like sewing and buying things from thrift stores that I will most likely never wear (or use). I was raised in the Midwest—Saginaw, Michigan to be exact. In my middle and high school years,
I was very focused on drawing, painting, and sculpture—which would explain why I still embrace a sense of tactility in my design work.
I moved to California in 2004 to pursue an undergraduate degree in Graphic Design from the California Institute of the Arts, which I just completed. Currently, I live and work in Los Angeles.”

Comments Off on Heiko MulerArt
“My art comes from an urge to explore. I like the countryside. I like a good view. And once I’m face to face with a lovely scenery, I feel immediately tempted to find out what it’s concealing. The dark goings-on behind the façade of nature, you might say, or the hidden machinations of the animal kingdom.
To imagine and express this, I usually tap the lines linking religious icon art, renaissance painting and comic culture. I am particularly thrilled by the kind of spiritual terror you find expressed in the paintings of the old Flemish masters, and I’m trying to find out what happens when you apply that mood to the serene and harmless world of rural folk art.
I am based in Hamburg, Germany, but my stuff has also been shown in such diverse places as Estonia, New York, Paris, Saint Petersburg, Los Angeles, Seattle and Chicago. When not busy with art or media work, I can usually be found painting pictures with my 7-year-old-son.”

Comments Off on David BrayArt
Chances are that if you frequent the design/art blogosphere you have stumbled upon the work of David Bray at one point or another. His work has appeared numerous times on FFFFound and he has worked for some very large clients. He has kept busy exhibiting this year and you can see the fruits of his labor here from his exhibition the Stolenspace gallerey at Let’s Hit the Streets. There is also a more comprehensive listing of the works, with larger images at the actual Stolenspace website. You can also view a little more his his work at Pvuk.
His work focuses primarily on the female form but looks almost as though it was plucked from a Fashion-illustration book. It is the simplicity of his work that I really enjoy. I also love the way he renders the hair of his subjects.
