It’s been a while since I dropped in on Andrew Holder and as far as I can tell, it looks like there is some new work in his portfolio (possibly even a new site). Either way, if you are unfamiliar with his work, it is a special retro-stylized treat.

I have been following Tessar Lo for a while now, back since my Design Is Kinky days. His work is just so dreamy and lyrical, it transports you into another world. His latest work is even better and the colors and imagery are just beautiful. The painting of the boy floating above the cityscape is something I have envisioned in my own dreams many times over and to see it painted makes me wonder about the universal mind. Keep an eye on Lo, he is the real deal.

I stumbled across screenprinting pop-culture artist Matt Dye today and had to immediately and impulsively buy one of his prints (the one with Obama and the 357 Magnum). Awesome. It’s rare that I buy art, as much as I try to do to support it, simply because I have very little money but I just had to have that poster. Some of his test prints are really really cool as well. I love the Warhol prints and the Bowie prints. The color work and layering are beautiful. Some might argue that this work isn’t all together original but I think it is meant to be a tongue and cheek jab at pop art. It is a really attractive jab though, enough that it validates itself as its own little fascimile of pop art sarcasm.

Finnish designer/artist Maija Louekari has a solid grasp on her color work and style. Her work is simple in execution but her layouts employ a sophisticated selection of eye-pleasing colors. It’s hard not to like her work and envision some of it hanging on a wall in your home.

Artist/illustrator Ronald Kurniawan keeps updating his already marvelous body of work with yet more and more interesting projects. It appears he is in much higher commercial demand now than since I last dropped by his site and for good reason. His work is really stunning.
