Since we last featured Chris Scarborough's work back in 2009, the Nashville-based artist has continued to keep himself busy creating his pristine graphite images for shows all over the US (and world!). His obvious techincal skill combines with slightly eerie subjects--like missile-toting clouds hovering in midair, contorted anime figures and girls submerged in amorphous white voids--create a tangible sense of uneasiness through fantastical imagery.

We love when we stumble across an artist that one of our esteemed editors has already written about. But we continue to be fascinated by the work of Medford, Massachusetts-based Chris Sacrborough, whose series Aftermath series explores the idea of an existence after an ambiguous cataclysm like a new Big Bang.

Chris Scarborough's 'Aftermath' series explores the idea of an existence after an ambiguous cataclysm like a new Big Bang. Ideas and elements from our collective cultures have now become like literal agents of evolution in his illustrations made up of watercolor and gouache.
