John Ryan Solis captured my eye with his interesting compositions and subject matter. His studies in contrast (see below) and focus on the organic flowing shapes of human hair are very intriguing. Some of his work features a bit of illustrated nudity so it may be nsfw. View more below and much more at his website. (more…)

While a majority of the incredible art shows are limited to the coasts, sometimes we get the occasional gem in the midwest. Aaron Horkey’s Midwestern Heart is a selection of drawings from 2003-2010.

After the opening, prints will be made available online and we’ll keep you posted with release information. The show opens on Sunday, September 12th, from 2:00-4:00pm and runs through November 20th at the Remick Gallery in Windom, MINN. The flyer for the show is below as well. Via omgposters.com

Update: There will be a Black Osprey x Mega Fauna button set made available at the show as well. See photograph of the pins below. (more…)

I stumbled upon Andrew Hem‘s work recently and found his painting quite interesting. He’s got a website with a bunch of work to look at and a store with painted matchboxes which I got a chuckle out of. Enjoy more of his work below and at his website. (more…)

Kevin Tong is an illustrator who has consistently impressed me with each consecutive release. Tomorrow, August 14th, he has his first solo show opening at Phone Booth Gallery in Long Beach, CA. Tong will have several new art prints and t-shirts available for purchase at the show. You can read Kevin Tong’s words about his first solo show here at his blog, and the official press release by Phone Booth Gallery here.

For those of us who can’t make it out, we’ll keep an eye on the artist’s blog for release information on works from the show which can be seen above and below. Make sure to check out the video after the break which shows some behind the scenes footage of Tong working on his creations. You’ll see he combines physical drawing with computer based illustration. Very inspiring! (more…)

I recently stumbled upon the work of Caitlin Hackett and was quite impressed. Her style brings to mind that of John Dyer Baizley without the thick linework and Pushead, metal & punk graphic influence. The photo below of the artist working on a drawing shows the scale of at least one of her pieces, and i’d imagine with the amount of detail presented here, most of her works are created at a decent size. Enjoy more images after the break and check out her full portfolio at carbonmade. (more…)
