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 ...

I really like sto­ries and poetry. It’s what helps drive my love for illus­tra­tion — the fur­ther inter­pre­ta­tion of lan­guage and the writ­ten word. Jim Houser is an artist/illustrator using poetry to drive him images, cre­at­ing an almost quilt of typog­ra­phy, sym­bols, and design. I move through Jim’s work almost like a maze, with poetry ...

Tom Edwards is an illustrator/graphic designer liv­ing in Brighton. While his port­fo­lio is all-around impres­sive, his drawings/collages are what I have really spent some time with. Tom’s draw­ing style is some­what naive, but that is not meant to be an insult. His work is charm­ing, engag­ing, and very inter­est­ing in its sim­plic­ity. I have included images ...

Seth Clark is an Pitts­burgh, PA based artist work­ing in paint­ing, draw­ing, print­mak­ing, and col­lage, often times com­bin­ing all dis­ci­plines at once. Seth has a really beau­ti­ful sense of when to use media. Often­times work can feel unfo­cused and over­done by such lib­eral use of dif­fer­ent tools, but he has inte­grated every­thing so seam­lessly that his ...

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 ...

DJG Design (aka Danny Gib­son) is an artist/designer I’ve been admir­ing since I was in high school. He was the artist doing the show posters and local album cov­ers in my home­town and has since expanded his pop­u­lar­ity to more than just the mid-west United States. DJG’s media of choice really varies. He uses col­lage, ...

San­dra Juto is an illus­tra­tor liv­ing in Swe­den. Mod­ern with a vin­tage feel, her work can be both con­cep­tual and com­mer­cial. She has a vari­ety of clients and per­sonal projects that seem to allow her to flex either muscle. I think that Sandra’s work is very sweet and sen­si­tive, made pos­si­ble through her char­ac­ter devel­op­ment. ...

Another col­lage artist today! I’ve really been inter­ested in look­ing at abstract col­lages, and Kelly Lynn Jones has work that I’ve been fol­low­ing for awhile. I spend a lot of time with Kelly’s paint­ing on paper, but she also has some very nice sculp­ture and instal­la­tion work. Like Anthony Zinonos, she has a min­i­mal­ist approach ...

Anthony Zinonos is addicted to col­lect­ing paper. His work is a prod­uct of his col­lec­tion, incor­po­rat­ing print­mak­ing, col­lage, and photo imaging. Anthony’s work tends to be min­i­mal­ist, have a large fields of a lim­ited color palette, and one focal point in the image. Aside from this, Anthony has also made his work some­what absurd and ...
