Ronald Kurniawan

Ronald Kurniawan graduated with honors from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. Inspired by ideograms, syllables, letterforms, beasts and heroic landscapes, he slowly but surely continues to create a visual language where the wilderness and civilization could merge happily together. He's lives in LA and continues to jam on amazing pieces for a multitude of clients from all over. Man, I want one of those color paintings bad!

Ben Loiz

Ben currently lives in Los Angeles, CA. His work has been exhibited internationally and featured in a number of books and newsstand publications. Besides exhibitions and his product line NeeNoon, which he runs with his wife Reneé, Ben works with a diverse group of clients developing distinctive projects that range from products and packaging to print and identity. Man, these guys are nonstop...makes me feel guilty for taking breaks.

Bong Vodka

From Mr. Spear's site...Bong Vodka just launched a gorgeous artist bottles series in collaboration with artists: Jason Thielke, Yosoh, Matthew Curry and Ogi. The limited edition bottles (and boxes) will be available in stores throughout Florida, Texas, New York, Las Vegas and California at the end of August. Check out the Spirit Of The Brand site to learn more about their unique program– they are constantly searching for artists for new bottle designs, boxes, t-shirts and music compilations.

Nucleus

Did a last minute 1 day power drive to comicon and met the guys from Nucleus who happens to be in Alhambra...so nearby. Anyhow, I bought a couple t-shirts and a signed Mari Inukai print. They host galleries and sell really nice emerging artist prints as well as a slew of pretty cool attire and books. Check it out...it's like a non-arrogant version of Giant Robot..Uhm, did I say that? Yes I did. Hmmpff!

My Dead Pony

Straight from Belgium is Raphael (yes, that's his whole name), a self-taught illustrator who has a great eye...raw talent for sure. Lots of cool personal work that is worth hanging up on any persons wall. He's for hire so someone get on the phone and let this guy rock some concerts for ya. I want an Oreo Shake BAD!

Noper

Someone comment and tell me where this fool is from, please, cause there is so much good stuff to munch on. Oh wait... ".ro" is romania. Hmmm. Lots of intriguing photomontages and illustrations. That's all I know...now look at all the work and make something amazing so I can post on here and feel worthy of doing something meaningful for mankind.

Saintgraphy

Saintgraphy is a design boutique in Argentina that flexes illustration, programming, motion, and great design. Great high-quality stuff and fun artwork to peep. Man...so much good stuff out there. This is why we rock this madness...it hurts so good!

Icon Drawer

I know how much we all love those custom icons. Click here to get some free cool icons for your mac OS. Lots of links to other icon sites as well..some free and some for real cash money...you gotta get serious for those premium ones. Customize to be a straight up playa if you want to be too cool for school. Uhm.

Kim Joon

Please peep this gallery by Korean Artist, Kim Joon. Some of this stuff just blew me away. He has apparently been painting and creating this stuff for a while and I'm surprised I haven't caught it earlier. It's fabulous...check out the all the galleries. Shasta Cola ain't Coke.

It's Art Dammit

Aussie based designer, Jeremy Somers, is an illustrator, print guru, web designer, and photography stud. There is, without a doubt, some very nicely done pieces in his web portfolio. Some Stardust-esque stuff that's perhaps infiltrating distant shores. Cool Stuff..uhh..Dood...This Brie sandwich is causing me all sorts of problems.

Chuck Anderson

Holy Cow! It's almost been a month and I haven't posted a damn thing! Sorry about the absence as I am beginning to surface again from the swamp known as The Tank. Anyhow...Let's get started. Some may know Chuck Anderson as the barely-legal, almost 21 year old designer kingpin. In the two years since he left high school he has developed an incredibly unique signature dreamy ‘no pattern’ style while building an admirable client list that boasts heavy hitter names like Saatchi and Saatchi, Microsoft, and Citibank. - Josh Spear. I mean, what's not too love...buy a print if you're feelin it. Hallelujah.
