Viktor Timofeev

Viktor Timoveef is the name of the Latvian genius that manages to put so much space on paper with such beautiful lines. Why didn’t I think of this?? If you’re not going to check out his portfolio, at least have a look at the four images after the jump :) (more…)

Monaux Goodness!!!11

Monaux scored a “Daily Deviation” on DeviantArt today, and that’s how I came to browse his gallery (again). This australian 24 year old got an amazing style, I’ve got to share and study. Thank Karl Kwasny (his real name) for a comprehensive portfolio full of eye candy :) And his dA profile.

Audrey Kawasaki in the Big Apple

It’s always nice to keep tabs on people as talented as Audrey Kawasaki. Audrey has an amazing style thats very recognizable. It looks sterile and sexy and sometimes eery or macabre and sweet and all o’ that. I’ve only had the chance to marvel at her work online, but for all the people in New York: Your time is now! The Jonathan LeVine Gallery is hosting her work in an exhibition, “Hajimari”.

Audrey Kawasaki is a Japanese-American artist, born and raised in Los Angeles, where she currently lives and works. Kawasaki’s work contains contrasting themes of innocence and eroticism, conveying the mysterious intrigue of feminine sensuality. Her sharp imagery is painted with precision onto wooden panels, the natural grain adding warmth to her enigmatic subject matter. The artist’s creative influences include eastern as well as western traditions such as Art Nouveau and Japanese Manga comics. She paints sultry, seductive and uninhibited female subjects with delicate beauty and provocative, direct eye contact. Their graceful gestures and ghost-like features carry mysterious expressions of melancholy and longing.”

Allright, time to introduce you to the stuff a once-classmate makes. These are the works of crazy funky animator/illustrator/innovator Stein Louisse. He hit me up with his new website blogthing that has stuff on it that you couldn’t find on his DeviantArt profile. His skillz and style ranges from graffiti to completely eclectic bubble characters to striking portraits of feminine beauty. I, for one, have always been a fan. Check it out! Check it all out!!!

Vania Zouravliov

I “blogged” Vania Zouravliov’s outstanding illustrations some time ago on a blog or two ago. Now the man is back, or rather he’s sprung into my field of view again. Check it out! Unfortunately I couldn’t find a website, so check out his photo gallery on Facebook, it has loads and loads of goody drawings. I think I’ll contact him soon, tell him that Facebook reserves the right to use any and all photos or images on their servers, and maybe offer him a website too. He deserves it, no?

Two more drawings after the jump. (more…)
