this website for Ogasa Shin is chock full of amazing. if Francis Bacon had drawn anime, i think this is what it would have looked like. i can’t read, um,
Asian, and all i have to go on about this guy/girl is that his/her name is Ogasa Shin. the website hasn’t been updated in a couple years, so maybe you budding internet Encyclopedia Browns out there can help a brother out and hunt him/her down to verify a) that he/she is still alive and 2) he/she is actually named Ogasa Shin. (
more images after the jump, including some NSFW and one really
fucking BIG mother…)

Wow, thanks to Peter Nidzgorski’s always great tumblog:
This Isn’t Happiness for introducing me to
Iain Macarthur’s work. The style of portrait sketching combined with ink and computer graphic retouching works wonderfully. The future is now kids! (oh FYI he’s 23, bright future? nahh beginner’s luck)

Irving Penn died yesterday. he was an amazing photographer at the center of the fashion industry for decades, and his simple, graphic style contrasted beautifully with complex subject matter and theme. plus he did a lot of nudes. there is an Irving Penn retrospective right now at the Getty (1200 Getty Center Drive, Los Angeles, 90049. (310) 440-7330) through mid-January if you would like to mourn surrounded by his art. pour one out 4 tha homiez y’all, and dedicate the next time you’re vogueing to him. (more images after the jump.)

Ahh another hometown hero. Alejandro Fuentes, aka
Los Fokos, is a born and bred Los Angeleno who still lives and works in the city. He has an amazing eye for color, impressive technical skillz (a lot of these images appear to blend photos and drawings seamlessly), a list of A+ clients and an even more impressive portfolio. Check it out (more imagery

Mr. Ansin after hearing about the new Stanley Kubrick exhibition: “
Taming Light,” (check the info on
facebook) taking place at the
Light House Cinema in Smithfield, Dublin next month. He created the AMAZING poster (below) for the exhibit, which will showcase new painting, photography and illustration related to Kubrick and his films. Once I saw the rest of his work I became an instant fan (more imagery

John Dyer Baizley is a painter and musician based in Savannah, Georgia. I noticed his work because there’s been
some buzz surrounding the upcoming release of his band’s album, and the cover, which he created, looks amazing. He’s created artwork for tons of bands including:
Kylesa,
Pig Destroyer,
Darkest Hour,
The Famine,
Daughters,
Skeletonwitch,
Torche,
Cursed,
Black Tusk,
Vitamin X and his own band,
Baroness for which he is the singer and rhythm guitarist. Baroness is the type of band that will crush your facebones with ferocious metal. Check out the art (more after
the jump):

I was poking around my old bookmarked links and noticed Sir Mike added some new work to
his website (check it out, it’s incredible and worth your time). He’s a wildly talented painter with a sly sense of humor… a rabbit leading a rabbit with a carrot? A bird using a jetpack? A person dressed as a squirrel walking a dog?
Miss precoce feroce, WTTD’s own lovely win0, previously bragged about her own Mike Mitchell purchases a while ago. Time to go back to his shop, he’s on his last run of T-shirts and new posters have been added. More imagery after the jump:

Mr. Bousserez is an incredible French photographer who seems to be delving into the design/typography realm as well.
His website has a great series called “Plastic Life” featuring little figurines doing everyday things on a teeeeeny tiny stage. Amazing eye for detail:
