Evan Hecox

Evan is a great illustrator / painter. He works in a really graphic style that's due to the fact that he works in woodcuts. He takes a lot of photo studies of things that interest him, mostly urban scenes. His subjects range from crowds in Mexico to teahouses in NYC.

David Jon Kassan

David's work isn't something that would normally catch my eye, except that he's so damn good. He's a realist painter from NYC and his canvases are so rich and full of detail they're impossible not to linger in front of. He also has a beautiful knack for being drawn to the mundane. A tagged wall, a bored friend. It really is gorgeous work.

Agnes Montgomery

Agnes Montgomery is a collage artist from Philadelphia. She works on a tiny scale to create her intricate collages. She uses a magnifying lamp and tiny scissors to put together her images, then she scans them to enlarge them and prints them on canvas. I'm not a huge fan of inkjets on canvas, but in her case I would make an exception since her images are so awesome.

Logan Hicks

What's most impressive about Logan is his ability to plan and to previsualize. All his canvases are done using extensive arrays of stencils to add color, depth and shape. They are amazing to behold and even more amazing to watch him execute.

Holidays caught up

The holidays and work have been catching up so I haven't been able to throw up some new stuff these last few days. I started seeing a lot of stuff pop up about Art Basel this last week and have been trolling through all the info and video and pictures being mostly pissed off that I wasn't there. Next year for sure.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Michael DeForge

Michael DeForge is out of his mind. His drawings are disturbing and hilarious at the same time. You just have to see them.

Matthew Cusick

Sorry for the gap. Holidays, you know?
I don't know a lot about Matt, but his work is really interesting. His collaged maps could be stared at for hours. Seeing all the little cartographic details and trying to figure out where each map is of.
His Defacements series is much more interesting though. He removes all words and images with the exception of one image and maybe two or three words. He also leaves the page numbers so you could reassemble them into another unique book.
