Artists to Admire: Ogasa Shin (i think)

December 10th, 2009

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…)

Artist to Admire: Iain Macarthur.

October 22nd, 2009

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)

Artist to Admire: Los Fokos.

September 29th, 2009

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 after the jump):

Artist to Admire: Martin Ansin.

September 24th, 2009

Came across 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 after the jump):

Artist to Admire: John Dyer Baizley.

September 22nd, 2009

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):

Artist to Admire: Sir Mike Mitchell.

September 17th, 2009

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:

Artist to Admire: Vincent Bousserez.

September 9th, 2009

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:

August 19th, 2009

Mr. Warburton is a South African illustrator/designer who keeps claiming he’s just “messing around” (go ahead, rub it in)…he’s got a penchant for silly monsters. Check the guy’s skillz:
