/ Surfacing the creative culture
since '98

Rafael Sottolichio

Probably one of the most promising young painters, Rafael Sottolichio approach is about mixing traditional grand’maître artistry for painting people (superb transparency and white useage) and design based esthetics for background and spatial elements.

His sense of perspective is dazzling (as his palette). Some compositions include both geometric forms and lines which gives a funky modern feel to his art.

Morningcraft

Betsy Walton explores the tension and balance between the mysterious nature of our existence and the objects and environments we find in everyday life. We can experience the sublime in the same room where we fold the laundry, and perhaps at the same time.

Impressed by the fact that she works with a spontaneous approach and few expectations of specific results.. but the results are exceptional.

Letterpool London

Letterpool London is looking for your photos — names, signage, signals and street art of London for a new book. Letterpool London is a mass public art project, a celebration of the city’s urban art and architecture, looked at through its typography – the brands, graffiti, instructions and ideology around us every day and is open to amateurs and professionals, Londoners and visitors.

Deadline: August 20

Post-FIRE day

Post-FIRE (exhibit) day. If you want to see some snapshots check the album. Showing Fabesko (a totally awesome Parisian artist) who created her version of Captain America holding on to the PILLS artwork. It was a hit at first sight!

It so happens that they are almost exactly in the same color hues. Something huh?

Entartete Kunst

Derek Stenning lives in a world of his own filled with astronauts of surreal, painful and of grandiose attitude and canvas proportions. His drawing and perspective skills are of master class quality and the palette enriched with drama and outwardly light.

As you can see there is this central character Entartete Kunst who appears in most of his projects. The breathing apparel (or what looks like it) is to be likened to a much wanted balloon when you’re a kid?

Cavana loves you

Nolan Cavana one part of Cavana said: “Your site makes me smile in my deep innards where my creativity bubbles up from just wondering how one can get their portfolio listed?”

To answer that question, it takes superlative originality and talent.. oh, and large typography. Just kiddin’. Since you meet all criteria there ya go.

Don’t miss their Studio tour section, pretty cool pres.
