I’ve been look­ing at the com­bined efforts of Nelio and THTF, an artist and artist col­lec­tive, respec­tively, who have pro­duced an exhib­tion, Tran­si­tion, that exists both inside and out. From Gallery All-Over: For this project, they will try to com­bine these two pro­ce­dures. With a facil­ity that will take shape in the gallery Shared fla­vors ...

Thanks to Beth over at IAMSOUND for turn­ing me on to this music video by NewVil­lager. The guys in NewVil­lager, Ben Brom­ley and Ross Simonini, see them­selves as a multi-media group, and pro­duce not only music, but draw­ings, ani­ma­tions, per­for­mances, films, lec­tures, and also write. While the video was directed by Ben Dick­in­son (who has directed ...

It’s been a long week. Luck­ily, my cal­en­dar tells me it’s Fri­day, and so that auto­mat­i­cally sets the day in the right direc­tion. You know what else is mak­ing my morn­ing a lit­tle brighter? The work of Patrick Kyle. Patrick cre­ates images that are sur­real and set in motion by his sense of char­ac­ter devel­op­ment. ...

I always love get­ting emails from Kelly at Lit­tle Paper Planes. She always reminds me of the great things they have at their online store, includ­ing a bi-monthly fea­tured artist. Twice a month, Lit­tle Paper Planes selects an artist to inter­view and sell exclu­sive prints of their work. For part of August, the artist col­lec­tive Château-Vacant ...

Rob Jones is an artist/illustrator work­ing out of Lon­don. He works inde­pen­dently as well as apart of the Wolfwind Col­lec­tive. Rob’s draw­ings and paint­ings, while var­ied, reflect a style that’s ded­i­cated to a more naive under­stand­ing of the world and art. I really enjoy his take on this, and love the way Rob pushes and ...

The Happy Jour­ney Col­lec­tive is recently launched project from a num­ber of tal­ented artists and illus­tra­tors. the idea being that you design your own cof­fin. It could be con­sid­ered mor­bid, but the con­cept has really pro­duced some great results. The Happy Jour­ney Col­lec­tive was con­ceived via Twit­ter, dur­ing a con­ver­sa­tion between Thereza Rowe, Les­ley Barnes, ...

Jesse Draxler is an artist work­ing in col­lage, as well as some­one that par­tic­i­pates in artist col­lec­tives. Per­haps most impor­tantly of all, he hails from the Mid­west (Min­nesota), like myself. I kid about that last part. But, in all seri­ous­ness, I really enjoy Jesse’s work. It is a nice com­bi­na­tion of cut paper, draw­ing, and ...

Ian Caulkett is a multi-facet artist liv­ing in Lon­don. He makes won­der­ful col­lages and also par­tic­i­pates in a num­ber of dif­fer­ent projects. Ian uses por­tions of images to cre­ate a cohe­sive image, and also uses as a device for ambi­gu­ity and con­fu­sion. He pairs words with images, and not always do they cor­re­spond with each ...
