Sam Wolfe Connelly

See more here: Sam Wolfe Connelly’s digitally enhanced illustrations. Some are just lounging around while others are dressed up like circus performers. He also does clothing design, so track him down if you need a canine adorning your new t-shirt.

Leonardo Solaas



Awesome abstract computer-generative drawings, see more here. I used to do this type of stuff all the time, I love it, unfortunately I lost the software when I upgraded computers. Anyone know of a free Fractal Generator software/PS filter I could get?

Stephen Wiltshire



Stephen Wiltshire is an artist who draws extremely lifelike, accurate and detailed cityscapes. If that wasn’t hard enough, he does it strictly by memory, sometimes after having only observed the cityscape very briefly. Last year he made an 18 foot long drawing of the entire New York skyline after he spent just 20 minutes in a helicopter overhead. He’s also made panoramas of Rome, Tokyo, Dubai, London, and a bunch of other major cities around the world. I had seen a half-hour special on him 5 years ago on TLC, I was in awe. This guy’s work is extraordinary in every sense of the word – go to his site and read about his childhood, it’s a crazy/inspiring story!

Eugenio Merinos



Hilarious sculptures from Eugenio Merinos, infused with a large dose of biting political and art-world satire.

Anitabling

Here’s some hand-crafted madness from artist anitabling. Relief and countour give these geographic, multi-media sculptures a topographical view of a quirky, colorful world. Check out more work on her photo stream.





Mike Shankman



Mike Shankman turns crumbling structures and abandoned buildings into arcane imaginary environments. In 2003, Mike also co-founded Million Fishes, a live/work arts organization in the Mission District of San Francisco. Find more at Shift Art Gallery.

Kirk Demarais

Kirk Demarais has a series of family portraits that are charmingly creepy. But these are not portraits of your next door neighbors. He focuses on fictional families who starred in your favorite films. Kirk covers them all, from The Shinning to There Will Be Blood. Something Mirco should have thought of years ago. : )

James Mitchell aka Nas Chompas.
