James Blagden
James Blagden has most certainly offended a person or two with his work, but that’s not to say it’s been without intention. He’ll take contemporary urban imagery and twist and shape it until it says what he wants it to. I’m not always into the ‘socially conscious’ art, but I like his style [...]

LOOK: Nikki Farquharson
24 year old, London-based Nikki Farquharson’s mixed media art is wild. While at once very sexy and provocative, it’s also childishly creative and fun — almost comic-book’y at times. All the pieces shown here are illustration-based (coloured pens), combined with found imagery. She is currently looking for photographers to collaborate with, as well [...]

Michael Krueger
When I was younger, colored pencil was my favorite fine art medium. I wasn’t too spectacular with it, but the worlds I created always felt the most fun when I used them. Michael Krueger’s work is precisely that. He places funny little characters into colorful dreamworlds against surprisingly dynamic, barred backgrounds. [...]

This is just awful.
Argentinean artist Nina Park (originally from Antwerp) makes beautifully loud-colored, Pollock-esque artwork… out of her puke. Honestly, I’ve had a similar idea, but it wasn’t nearly as disgusting. It involved eating things that would change the color of one’s semen. Unfortunately, she got to it before I could. There’s a quick [...]

It’s not like the old days…
If asked, this kind of painting probably wouldn’t top my list of artforms that I’m into, but there’s something nice about seeing this kind of thing alive and well, due to people like Mr. Jeremy Lipking.
