Yulia Brodskaya loves typography, paper, and highly detailed hand-made craft objects.

As I browsed through some of her General Illustration I was reminded of the work of Gustav Klimpt with a modern twist. Particularly the Faithlessness piece. She has a very strong typographic technique. And her PAPERgraphics left me absolutely speechless.

You should definitely check out her incredible work.

The first time I saw the Bejewelled series by Claire Skully, my mind was blown. The infinite details, patterns and shapes demonstrate great passion and skill.

Her online gallery is full of surprises from her incredible portraits to my favorite, the bark studies. It’s inspiring to me to see such patience.

If you’re interested visit Claire Skully’s “the quiet revolution” for more info. After that, stop by 4wall where you can purchase some of her pieces. You can find the link under the info section of her website.

Can’t remember how I came upon this. At some point during the busy work week one of the several sites I like to visit had posted this link. Sorry I can’t remember.

Either way, some really nice work. Simple, colourful and oh so nice. If you’re interested visit frankchimero.com/shop.

Paul White is a fantastic illustrator. His colourful backdrops and detailed destruction make for an eye catching canvase.

He uses several different techniques, from traditional illustration to mixed media. His subjects are usually damaged and forgotten, like a junk yard automobile or a fallen retro sign.

In the bookstore, not too long ago, we were on a quest to find the perfect new book for our daughter Grace.

We discovered a colourful book with incredible pictures, but not a word to be read. Upon further investigation (err – we looked inside) we realized that without words, the adventure would be up to us to decide.  What a great idea! Now Gracie can read her very own stories from her very own imagination each and every time she opens the cover.

The book is illustrated by Tao Nyeu and was actually her thesis project while attending the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

If you’re interested in picking up a copy, it’s available at amazon.com.
