As you will see in the coming days, we have a feature on Curtis Kulig in our upcoming issue. (And, a special, limited-edition, site-specific cover being released this weekend, more on that in the coming days). Okay, these points aside, Curtis Kulig, the man behind the "LOVE ME" moniker, is set to release a micro-collection with Vans for the Spring 2013 season. The Classic Authentic, the Checkerboard Slip-On, and the women's SK8-Hi Slim are all part of the collection.

Recently, we stumbled upon San Francisco based illustrator Pablo de Pinho. Working mainly with ink, bristol board, and watercolor. Pablo's Laugh and Draw series was inspired by old ragtime comics; Osamu Tezuka, Daniel Clowes and Os Gemeos. Pablo's work shows creative improvisation with visual story telling through figurative connection between characters.

Grizzly Bear's newest LP, Shields, has generated a few tasty treats in the artistic music video department, but our favorite track on said album, "gun-shy", just received both animated gif and music video work by director Kris Moyes. Watch as members of Grizzly Bear look at you with creepy eyes, do their own doctor's examinations on themselves, and go a bit Dali on you.

Jules de Balincourt is a French-born, American-based painter currently living in New York. His colorful and "faux-naif" painting style accompanied with scathing and witty social commentary make him a favorite. Here are some of his paintings from the last year.

If you want someone to come tidy your apartment, we think we have found your man in Michael Johansson, an artist who takes a real-life Tetris approach to both public and fine art. The artist has a knack of compartmentalizing the right objects into the right spaces to create incredible collages of no longer used goods in a colorful, eye-popping way. The artist is busy with public art work in Malmo, Sweden, as well as a museum show in Oslo coming up, so we wanted to look at some newer works.

Adam 'Lilfuchs' Fuchs is the brains behind this epic 'Flying Lotus - Zodiac Sh*t' animation that was created for Adult Swim. He performs feats that delight and astound, and as animation director at Turner Studios, he has chased wild scribbles through the badlands of television, inked epic doodles over mountains of print and apparel, and has driven herds of untamed mental concoctions into the Lands of Milk and Approval. He is based in Atlanta, GA.

We have had an affinity for embroidery art over the years, with our Handmade Art book heavy on the medium. When we came across Ana Teresa Barboza's mixed media, embroidery art this past evening, we loved the combination of mediums made for an almost 3D experience. We like to say adult-themed, because you rarely see a little loving between the sheets down with a needle and thread, threading the needle, or however you want to say it.

The Barcelona based artist Guim Tió Zarraluki creates his abstracted portrait illustrations with a unique method that he has adapted to the majority of his work. By altering fashion magazine images, he creates these oil-pastel covered, strange/beautiful, bug-eyed girls with delicate features and lovely lips that we can't help but admire.

Last month, several murals were painted in London by Tant and Unga who work under the collective name “Broken Fingaz.” We thought these two packed the most punch, enjoy.

Gamemasters is an animated telephone call, created by Earles & Jensen with Eighty Four Films. The illustrated art was created by Los Angeles based creative Travis Millard, with animation magic by Jim Dirschberger. Prepare to get your mind warped out of your skull through your eye sockets.
