The first time I remember thinking to myself, “oh, wow, this guy is so good” about Olly Moss is when he posted his “Evolver” illustration, a play on the Beatles’s “Revolver” album cover.  It was so good.  I was a fan of his work before but that really put him on another level for me.  

John Ryan Solis' work is a completely western take on the whole metaphors and pop culture plus eroticism and the appeal comes from Solis’s incredible devotion to detail in his work.  The immense sexual presence is also a valid and strong theme that exists currently in the illustration world and I think Solis is one of the best at it.  

Scarfolk is a town stuck in the 1970s and a blog slowly releasing pieces of the town's municipal history. The reworked book covers, posters, and public information ads are humorous and uncannily realistic. 'Certain themes resurface: the municipal, the occult, childhood and school days, totalitarianism and dystopia, memory and nostalgia, societal paranoia and fear of disease, television and radio.'

Micah Lidberg grew up in the American Mid-West but has since moved east, splitting his time between Kansas City, Minneapolis, or New York. His work is shaken up by nature, he finds that there's plenty of room to explore and plenty to share.

Wayne Johnson is the most recent artist that I’ve come across who has really made me stop and say wow.  His work is awesome.  One of my favorite things about his work is that it’s a combination of fine art and illustration.  A thought you’ll come to find I obsess over...

Annita Maslov’s dark art is some of the best I know of.  It’s pen and ink on paper but commanded in such a defined and lovely darkness that it captivates and soothes you whilst placing a spell on you...

Amanda Mocci is a Canadian Illustrator.  She is obsessed with the universe and outer space.  Other than illustrating entire books pushing this point she uses her more figurative pieces of work as a metaphysical allusion to what exists and what does not exist and what our place in things is...

Soey Milk’s work is some of the most stunning artwork I’ve ever seen.  It’s expressive, surreal, gorgeous and full of life’s mysteries.  Soey herself is just the same, full of energy and always working.  What she presents with her finished work is profound and elegant... 

Yukari Terakado’s work is just so damn good.  It weaves metaphor and pop culture with themes of death and eroticism with finely drawn details and light, brooding colors.  Yukari’s oeuvre hits the senses hard and direct... 

Martine Johanna has been one of my favorite illustrators for quite a while.  Her work consists of fine lined drawings to hyper bizarre dream-like paintings with influences bleeding out of the images from high fashion to the occult...
