Portfolio of Josh Kenyon
January 25 2008
Came across this link thanks to Josh Spear. I love Josh Kenyon's style of illustration.
Above is a piece entitled "Save a Life". It sold already I believe. I'd love a custom guitar like this one. His apparel section is also amazing. And actually, if you are interested in purchasing any of the clothing, you can do so at http://substratumapparel.com/. The website is quite nice.
Illustration by Stina Persson
January 17 2008
Once again, thanks to "Illustration Now!" by Julius Wiedemann, I came across the work of Stina Persson, an amazing Illustrator from Stockholm, Sweden. I love the watercolour portion of her portfolio. It's as though a lot of the pieces have no real frame or borders. And the colour combinations are amazing.
I am not sure what the above Illustration is entitled, but I love it all the same!
Stunning Illustrations by Linn Olofsdotter
January 16 2008
OK guys. This might be old news if you subscribe to Computer Arts, but the January cover rocks the show! After reading the interview on page 82, I checked out Linn Olofsdotter's website. The artwork blows my mind! The piece above was created for Avantgarde Magazine. I believe it is entitled "Autumn Depression".
The artist's style is extremely diverse. One of my new favorite Illustrators. In the interview Linn speaks of doing possible oil paintings in the future. I can't wait!

Illustration and Design by Miki Amano
January 11 2008
I borrowed a book from someone at work the other day called "Illustration Now!", by Julius Wiedemann. What a great resource! The first artist I came across that really grabbed my attention was Miki Amano. I love the textures, patterns, colours and details used in each of her pieces.
The selection above is called "Shika Pond" and was created using Acrylic.
Last day on Earth Print by Evan Hecox
January 10 2008
A friend of mine just got this great 3 colour silk screen print from Arkitip. The artist responsible for this one is none other than Evan Hecox. When you're there check out my favorite, "Mexico City Print". And best of all, it's printed on environmentally friendly paper.
You can learn more about Evan Hecox at evanhecox.com.
Poster design by Brad Klausen
January 09 2008
I was visiting the Pearl Jam website yesterday and I asked a friend if he knew who did the amazing and original background images for the site. He informed me of an artist by the name of Brad Klausen. This guy's stuff is awesome!
If you are interested, his poster work can be found at Artillery Design. And definitely check out the Pearl Jam site for the inspiring background imagery!
The Amazing Illustration work of Jeff Boyes
January 08 2008
Holy Crap! Check out the latest piece from the online portfolio of Jeff Boyes. The work is appropriately titled "Bill Murray". The detail is incredible and there's no mistaking the identity.
I am staring at the actual print on my wall right now. Those are the perks when you've been friends with the artist for over 10 years. Keep it up Jeff!
The website of Tim Lahan
January 08 2008
Can't remember how I came across this website. I have had it in my bookmarks for a while. I love the layout, design and simplicity of Tim Lahan's online portfolio.
Specializing in Illustration and Typography, this Philadelphia based designer has quite an impressive portfolio as well.
Incredible Photography by James Day
January 07 2008
Wow! Anyone see the latest wired mag? The photos of Thom Yorke and David Byrne are absolutely incredible! And the photographer behind the camera is none other than James Day.
His lighting, contrast, and whatever other magic he performs makes for these incredible photos. If you haven't seen the close-up head shot of Thom Yorke on page 120 of the January issue of Wired, it is a must see! The above image is part of a series entitled "Singles 1".
The artwork of Adam Cruickshank
January 07 2008
Courtesy of Heavy Backpack I came across artist Adam Cruickshank. I love his installation work and photo-illustration compositions.
One of my favorite pieces is called "Untitled" and can be seen in the photo above. His illustrated characters are also very cool.

January 04 2008
Once again, thanks to Abduzeedo's 2007 graphic design inspiration I came across the colourful and playful work of Illustrator and Art Director Adhemas Batista.
I have posted a pic of my favorite piece entitled "Destructed.info Issue #9". His Editorial Work is incredible. Keep up the great work Adhemas!
Amazing Photoshop work of Emeric Trahand
January 03 2008
Courtesy of Abduzeedo's 2007 graphic design inspiration, I came across the amazing artistic work of Emeric Trahand.
His work is quite amazing. His photoshop techniques truly blow my mind. At only 26 years of age, and an impressive client listing, I think we can expect some huge projects in the near future from Emeric. Nice work!
