Chelsea Wong

12.01.2011 · Posted in artist

Chelsea Wong is an artist liv­ing in San Fran­cisco, draw­ing tigers, jump rop­ing, and peo­ple under spells. She also is a print maker and zine pro­ducer, uti­liz­ing screen print­ing in both areas. Her draw­ings seem light upon first glance, but once you really start to look at them they have a bit of dark­ness to them. ...

Roman Klonek

09.22.2011 · Posted in artist

Print­mak­ing has reen­tered my radar as of late. While not very adept (espe­cially let­ter­press! wow! I am awful!), I still enjoy look­ing at it in terms of aes­thet­ics and knowl­edge of the process. Roman Klonek uti­lizes wood cut to cre­ate his full of color, full of energy prints. Com­ing from some­one who under­stands the logis­tics ...

Kelly Tunstall

09.20.2011 · Posted in artist, collaborate

Kelly Tun­stall is an artist and col­lab­o­ra­tor. She is one half of KeFe, work she cre­ates in con­junc­tion with artist Fer­ris Plock. I find her work exquis­ite, in terms of the han­dling of media and the ele­gance in which she por­trays her sub­ject mat­ter. Kelly’s prints and paint­ings are latent with sym­bols, long necks, and ...

New Otecki

08.23.2011 · Posted in artist, street art

Otecki (pre­vi­ously writ­ten about here) is an artist I keep up with though Flickr. The Pol­ish artist col­lab­o­rates on murals and other street art projects in a pretty awe-inspiring way. Look at the height! And the way that the art engulfs you as you stand before the struc­ture or wall. (All images via Flickr.) Otecki ...

Rimon Guimarães

08.10.2011 · Posted in artist

There is an evi­dent push and pull in Rimon Guimarães’s work. It comes from his bold col­ors and shapes, bro­ken up by the care­fully place details, which them­selves tell their own story. Rimon’s grace­ful fig­ures glide through his com­po­si­tions, and I’m reminded of Henri Matisse’s cut outs. Cou­pled with the details included over bod­ies and cloth­ing ...

Tugboat Printshop

07.25.2011 · Posted in artist

I’ve long been a fan of Tug­boat Printshop — the oper­a­tion of hus­band and wife team Paul Roden and Valerie Lueth. Their Pitts­burgh, PA shop spe­cial­izes in block print­ing, with the focus on nature and the great out­doors, often idyl­lic settings. Check­ing out their web­site is really a treat– not only do you look at ...

Jessie Horning

06.02.2011 · Posted in artist

Print­mak­ing has always intrigued me. It is an area of art in which I have never had the chance to exper­i­ment, and its processes are some­thing of a mys­tery to me. Jessie Horn­ing is a newly grad­u­ated print­maker whose inter­est lie in Lith­o­g­ra­phy and block print­ing. I enjoyed look­ing at her lith­o­graphs and her “printstal­la­tion”, which ...

Antoine Caecke

05.09.2011 · Posted in artist, drawing

Some great draw­ing by French artist Antoine Caecke. With care­fully drawn lines and the imper­fec­tions that come from print mak­ing, he seems to dia­gram his sub­jects for us. But, it’s in a weirdly more emo­tional man­ner, with bursts of a heavy hand. All images via his Flickr. ...

Mayumi Otero

04.13.2011 · Posted in artist, drawing

I saw Mayumi Otero’s work on Booooooom! a bit ago and fell in love instantly. There are illus­tra­tions for chil­drens’ sto­ries, etch­ings, and var­i­ous draw­ings included in her portfolio. A run­ning theme in Mayumi’s work includes some form of dan­ger. Whether there be threats from beasts or humans, draw­ings and prints deal with this idea ...

Lizz Hickey

04.06.2011 · Posted in illustration, illustrator

I wish I was funny enough to draw sequen­tial art that oth­ers found amus­ing. Since that is not my prowess, I will con­tinue to enjoy oth­ers’ work instead. Lizz Hickey, for instance! Lizz’s recent sequen­tial work tends to revolve around the char­ac­ter “Carol”, a man­i­fes­ta­tion of a self con­scious. Gen­er­ally dis­agree­able, there is a bit ...
