Minimal Marvel Posters by Marko Manev
We love the idea of minimalist reinterpretation because we enjoy seeing how an artist can strip icons to their barest elements and still be recongnizable to a mass audience. Enter Marko Manev's series of minimalist Marvel posters, which includes icons such as Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, The Thing, Silver Surfer, and more.

The Works of Colin Chillag
A graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute, we are enjoying these deconstructed portraits from Colin Chillag. At some points complete, and at times appearing to be in process, Chillag constructs these pieces like passing memories, where certain details remain but others fleeting.

Rik Lee's Tattoo Flash
Rik Lee lives and draws in Melbourne, Australia. He works with grey lead pencils, watercolours and his computer. When he’s not drawing Rik tries not to fall off his skateboard and enjoys talking in detail about the weather, storms are his favorite. In the future he intends to draw more, travel more, get more tattoos, drive a ’67 Chevy Impala and move down the coast with his girl and his dog.

Famous Photographers Posing with Their Famous Photos
We thought this was a great series, having famous photographers posing with their most iconic works. The portraits are part of a new book shot by Tim Mantoani Behind Photographs: Archiving Photographic Legends. We know you hear over and over again that photography is a dying medium, but when you see the best of the best, there is something really special to be taken in.
