This morning we take a look at the work of American sculptor and printmaker Lee Bontecou. Lee mainly focused on sculpture at first but after the 1960s she began restricting herself largely to drawing and printmaking.

This morning we take another look at Matt Rota, an award-winning illustrator based in New York and an instructor at institutions that include the School of Visual Arts and the Maryland Institute College of Art. Matt paints almost exclusively in watercolor, creating complex and engaging narrative landscapes.

  We are enjoying the drawings Minneapolis-based artist Nick Howard this morning. Howard initially developed the cast of characters that appear in his drawings as "representations of our darker and more monstrous nature." As his work has evolved, "they have revealed more of their humanity within, reflecting a wider range of human experiences from the myopic and controlling to the clear and vulnerable."  

A master of color and geometric composition, Andy Gilmore's work is often characterized as kaleidoscopic and hypnotic. Andy received his BFA from SUNY Empire State College and relocated to California where he worked resizing print ads for C1RCA Footwear and Forum Snowboards, introducing him to the computer and laying the foundation for his career in digital art, illustration and design.

Brooklyn-based artist Michael Shall does not draw from photographs but uses images to "gain an understanding of how certain things are structured." He then uses these s structural understandings to create his imagined worlds where those forms can do whatever he wants them to. "...these forms can do whatever I want them to, and it all looks believable, or almost believable."

Nuremberg-based artist Gerhard Mayer creates large-scale paintings, collages, drawings, sculptures, and wallpieces. His wallpieces are creating using China ink and his own unique mathematical rules. Having been interested in elementary particles and physics for a long time, his work is made following strict regularities. 

This morning we welcome you back from a long Memorial Day weekend with the drawings and paintings of Alex Gibbs. Alex is currently doing a residency in Huangzhou china and has taken to working on materials like newspapers, hotel pads, Chinese exercise books and greaseproof paper. 

Pasadena-based artist Jesse Fillingham works to explore themes of "myth, introspection, creation, and wizardry." We like those themes, and his series of drawings depicting "an alternate creation myth composed of trees of strife, knowledge and life, as well as ephemeral libidinous pritis - robed men ponder and wander through graphic landscapes."

Wriggles & Robbins put together this short stop-motion film to promote life-drawing classes at east London's Book Club. In the film, a life model is drawn by the students and dances from easel to easel. After setting up ten easels and capturing the artists sketching the model at a different angle, they edited it together by merging each drawing into the next.

Syrian artist Muhammad Ejleh has been spending his personal time while studying architectural design to work on his 3D drawings. Using only a sketchpad and pencils, the 20-year-old-student manages to make his characters and architecture pop out of the page.
