Christian Faur
January 26th, 2010

This work was mentioned in an article on npr this morning. I checked out his site and was really impressed with the hand cast encaustic crayon pieces. The cone shaped ends make for an unusually eerie, blurred blend of colours, would love to see them in person.

Terrible Yellow Eyes
October 22nd, 2009

Terrible Yellow Eyes is a collection of artist’s work inspired by Maurice Sendak’s classic children’s book, Where The Wild Things Are. The website is full of imaginative interpretations of the book’s characters, settings and story. Clearly the original book has provided countless artists and illustrators with the motivation to create images of their own, I know that personally a grade 11 art class assignment to create an illustration for the book really sparked my interest in illustration as a profession.

It involved five Italian street artists (BROS, ERON, IVAN, NAIS, OZMO) in a unique, experientially focused exhibition. Amazing venue too.

The Paintings of Josh Keyes
September 21st, 2009

I stumbled across the work of Josh Keyes while grazing through ffffound to pass the time. His paintings are like weird and wonderful visions that Robert Bateman might have on acid.

Mario Hugo
September 15th, 2009

Amazing work by artist Mario Hugo. Really impressed by the depth, texture, and attention to detail each and every piece has; specially his unique approach to typography (check out the cover for Beck as a testament to that).

Check out his site here, and while at it, also check out HUGO & MARIE.
