Tyson Skross sent in his work today and I really liked his paintings. He refers to the spaces in his paintings as ‘construct’ formed out of leftover memories from the spaces in between life experiences.

David Spriggs’s artwork is just flat out amazing. It’s beautifully complex yet stunning in simplicity without ignoring concept. The end result is what I am sure must be an experience to behold in person. The above piece was made using sprayed acrylic paint on multiple sheets of transparent film inside a display case.

Chuck Anderson of No Pattern turned me onto this artist through Twitter. I probably spent an hour out of my night clicking back and forth through the work of Jeremy Geddes. His paintings take concept scenarios to the point of photo realism; some very shocking, some unsettling, but there is something to be said for all of the work in this portfolio.

The talented illustrator Andrew Archer has updated his portfolio since I last posted his work way way back in January.

Jaakko Mattila is a Finnish artist who works primarily with geometric shapes but also branches out into more organic forms of abstract compositions. Although I was at first drawn more towards his geometric-focused pieces, I was really taken by the above gloss on board painting.

Yuta Onoda is yet another illustrator mixing traditional painting and drawing methods with digital touches. His work is simply gorgeous and feels as thought it were lifted directly from a dream.

I have been poking around all over today trying to find something to post or write, about and just about the time I started thinking I wouldn’t find anything new or interesting today I stumbled across the work of Henry Gunderson.

The first part of the discovery was a wave of ‘wow, that is some really great artwork’ which was then followed by a, ‘my God, he is only 17-years-old’ response. My jaw dropped. He’s painting better than people twice his age. Really phenomenal work at a far greater maturity-level-comprehension of space, color and composition than his age would bely. I can only imagine what his mind will bear in the future.

Seth Adelsberger has some really nice work in his Flickr-folio. Some of his paintings are really exceptional and his 17 layer one of a kind screenprint is the bees knees (correction: Seth has informed me that the screenprint was done by a friend).

There is really no rhyme or reason to the work of British artist Keith Tyson. His work reads like spillage from an everflowing stream of subconscious visions and memory. It is hard to believe that it all has anything to do with a single individual. All of it is interesting and thought provoking.

His website can be a little frustrating. Try using the quick nav at the bottom of the screen and be sure to click on the images of his work to see larger views.

Wow, every once in a while you stumble on something accidentally and are really impressed. Marco Zamora’s work is familiar in an urban-influenced kind of way but the deeper you get into it the more you begin to realize just how fantastically rendered everything is and just how much detail is happening in his compositions. I wish desperately that he had larger images of his work on his site but regardless, it is worth clicking through almost every image. I was especially taken by his paintings. Beautiful work.

Naja Conrad Hansen has generated some really great fashion-inspired paintings and illustrations. I would love to see this work in a gallery setting. Great stuff.

Michael Ciervo has a really strange and interesting body of artwork that seems to stream as if from a subconscious dream.

Wow. Style and substance combined for a double kick punch in the portfolio of illustrator Fminus. Really beautifully executed illustration.

I am absolutely loving the portraiture abstractions and studies of artist Jeremy Chance. I was really inspired by them.

Justine Lai has painted herself having sex with each U.S. President, ending for now with Ulysses S. Grant. I don’t know how many more she plans on doing (pun intended) but I personally hope she keeps going because this is the coolest link I have discovered in a while. The Abraham Lincoln painting is an instant classic although spooning with Ben Franklin does look nice.

I am really digging the artwork of Matt Duffin. He works with encaustic wax on panel, which is something a little unusual that I am not totally familiar with. It definitely yields striking results.

A little more about Duffin:
“Matt Duffin was born in 1968 and grew up in Houston, Texas. He studied architecture, but never practiced as an architect. Instead, he chose to explore the more human themes of solitude and irony through art. His medium has evolved from charcoal to encaustic wax, but he continues to dwell in the realm of dark recesses and stark contrasts. He has lived in Spain, Costa Rica, and Taos, New Mexico and currently resides in northern California with his wife and two small children.”
