"Punks" by Mike Giant

"Punks" by Mike Giant

Few artists are as appealing to me as Mike Giant.  His clear, crips black and white drawings and illustrations coupled with his unmistakable tattoo-art influenced visual vocabulary make him one of my all-time favorite artists.  As a matter of fact, one of his Rebel 8 T-Shirts is in the mail now for me.

How many people do you know that have a sharpie named after them?

"Hare's" and Others by Andrea Joseph

Hare's by Andrea Joseph

Hare’s by Andrea Joseph

You can tell by her drawings that Andrea is a keen observer of the world around her.  On her many “collages” and moleskin sketches she somehow brings to life the little objects that fill our lives.  Once you really take a moment to study these drawings (she provides large versions of her drawings on her website) you realize just how time-consuming these must be.  I imagine creating these works must be a sort of meditation, but that’s just speculation on my part.  Certainly worth a closer look, especially if you’re a fan of moleskin sketches.  You can check her out over at Andrea Joseph’s Sketchblog, which she regulary updates.

Untitled by DAIM

Untitled by DAIM

As far as I know, DAIM was one of the first guys to pioneer true 3d graffiti pieces. His work is awesome. I was even fortunate enough to stumble across one of his works in Germany (across from my old kindergarten!). His sketches are equally as impressive.
