Lis Tim­pone is an artist out of New York City. After view­ing her site, I can see that she has an affin­ity for wolves and a predator/prey relationship. Nearly all of Lis’s draw­ings inhab­ited by ani­mals — pri­mar­ily wolves. Although her ren­der­ings show the wolves(and a few other preda­tors) prey­ing upon oth­ers, Lis’s draw­ing style ...

I was con­tacted by the The Hills Gallery in Chicago, Illi­nois announc­ing an upcom­ing exhi­bi­tion with two artists, one being Katy Keefe. I look at Katy’s work and under­stand that her media and con­cept are closely linked. Her work is almost like a med­i­ta­tion; she reflects on her life and emo­tions, chan­nel­ing fear, anger, anx­i­ety, ...

 Ryan Bub­nis is an artist liv­ing and work­ing in Port­land, Ore­gon.  His vibrant, abstracted works have both com­mer­cial and gallery appeal. Ryan’s work is a com­ment on the human con­di­tion. His view of human­ity is an opti­mistic one; the char­ac­ters in his works are often smil­ing and good nature. Even when a fig­ure is frown­ing, Ryan’s col­or­ing ...

Artist Sophie Alda uses gouache like a pro. She really plays up the opaque qual­ity of the medium, using it to cre­ate inter­est­ing shapes that really define her style. The char­ac­ters in Sophie’s paint­ings are rotund and a bit out of the ordi­nary. While they might appear to be human, some­times they aren’t really human at ...

Brown Paper Bag has started a new Link BPB pro­gram. Part of Brown Paper Bag’s larger mis­sion is to become a resource for cre­atives. This includes a direc­tory to start — link Brown Paper Bag and I’ll link you back! You can grab some of the nifty images I’ve cre­ated, or you can always use ...

Maya Hayuk is an artist whose col­or­ful paint­ings have an infec­tious energy to them. Within her work, there is a feel­ing of glut­tony — the drips, exces­sive use of paint on the brush, and an over­load of neon are a per­fect cou­ple to her often similarly-themed subjects. Maya’s pieces ref­er­ence the past yet inter­min­gle with ...

Chris­tine Buck­ton Till­man is an artist whose ethe­real draw­ings are both free-flowing and cal­cu­lated at the same time. A large part of Christine’s draw­ing port­fo­lio is of a grid sys­tem of which she uses those squares to make an image that looks slightly pix­e­lated from up close, but whose shape makes more sense once you take ...

Lines and Shapes is an inde­pen­dent design col­lec­tive with a rotat­ing group of artist. Each issue is curated by Maria Vettese and Lena Cor­win. Lines and Shapes works like this: each issue of Artist Series, artists that are involved in the book get a word, or a phrase — a jump­ing off point. They then ...

I love activ­i­ties that bring peo­ple together. I’ve always really liked artist col­lec­tives, includ­ing Okay Moun­tain. This col­lec­tive con­sists of 9 artists who live and work in Austin, Boston, Chicago and Oakland. Orig­i­nally an artist-run alter­na­tive gallery, the mem­bers of Okay Moun­tain found them­selves cre­at­ing art together out­side of their gallery envi­ron­ment. The col­lec­tive has ...
