Alexis Marcou


Just found this artist abooout 30 minutes ago and Im soo excited! As usual I get really excited when I see an artist that can so easily accomplish what i struggle with. Such free lines! And ink splatters! Its brave (for me anyway) and I think the works are truly wonderful

Taaaape!



















Mark Khaisman

Although his subject matter may not be the most original his medium certainly is. Packing tape! He layers packing tape to create his values. Shadows are created by several layers of tape while highlights are a single strips. He creates hard lines by folding and crinkling the tape.






Danny Ghitis

Small confession. Sometimes I don't quite understand photography. Most of the time I look at them think "ooh pretty" and then move on, but Danny Ghitis was different. I actually stare at the photo and try to figure out whats happened. I wish he made films because he captures amazing stories with his camera... I want to find out what happens next

Art + Toys = Win






Nathan Sawaya

I know a lot of people have heard of him and that hes a very popular artist but he uses legos! LEGOS! I would have never of thought of using a childhood toy to make sculpture.

Jennifer Sanchez

I find the colors and shapes in Sanchez pieces so aesthetically pleasing! I cant help but look at her work and smiling. I also admire her process. Sanchez does very little preplanning. She just lets the shapes overlap until she's satisfied. Its a carefree attitude that really works hand in hand with her work.


Derek Gores

Someday I hope to have the patience and skill to create a collage like this, but until then I will merely admire. :) One thing that I especially appreciate in Gores work is the personal touches. The bits of paper used in this piece are all related to the subject matter in some way. Examples would be notes that they passed to friends, a magazine ad of their favorite designer, or newspaper clippings about them. The process is important and Gores process makes his work that much more intriguing
Alberto Seveso

Found him on artistaday.com about a year ago and immediately fell in love with him! Seveso is a 30 year old Italian graphic designer that uses photographs and computer software to create his images.
In my own work I sometimes find myself thinking of art in a very traditional way and when I saw his art, portraits with large missing pieces in the face, I was surprised by the beauty of "incompleteness" ! Although my art teachers had told me about the importance of negative space, I never truly understood what a difference a dynamic negative space could make until a saw his work. His art was the first I actually sat down and studied by my own choice (art history doesnt count o.o)
