Mr Bingo



Mr Bingo is an English illustrator with a crazy graphic eye. He's great at reducing things to their most simple and has a sick sense of humour (Eng spelling) too. He has quite a few prints for sale as well. You may recognize his work from the recent Perrier print campaign.

Thomas Doyle



This is fitting for the first new post in a while. Fatherhood really is a time vampire as far as this kind of stuff goes so I'm sorry for taking so long.

Thomas Doyle is awe inspiring. Both in his craftsmanship and his patience. His terrariums must take forever to craft and he has sooo many of them. I think I just spent 40 minutes looking through his site and I didn't even finish. The work defies explanation.

Kid Zoom



KZ is an Australian graffiti artist who has the illest can control I've ever seen. All his works are done with spray paint and uses no stencils that I could see. He's got a really amazing illustrative style while still maintaining a pretty diverse range of looks. I love his caricatures and his skulls.

Nutmegger



Nutmegger workshop is a studio making hand painted signs inspired by vintage ones. They take the time to affect the sign in ways that the weather would. To the point that it's hard to tell which is the actual vintage sign. Their work has such great character to it, and I really want that Tea Rooms sign.

Darren Booth



Darren is a painter, musician, collager, typographer. I could go on, but it's better if you see for yourself. His type collage is my favorite.

Christian Northeast



Christian is not a new talent, but I'm just learning about his magic. And his work really is magical. He's got a totally hilarious voice and an amazing, instantly recognizable style reminiscent of circus posters from the 20s and 30s. He also spans all mediums and works equally well in all. Get ready to be jealous.

Ben Eine

I know I know. It's been forever. It's hard to balance work, child and the endless hours I spend looking for new edgy artists. Here's a great video on one of my personal faves, Ben Eine.

Haroshi



I know it's been a while. Having a baby will do that to you. I figured I'd start it back with a bang and the work of Haroshi.
"Haroshi makes his art pieces recycling old used skateboards. His creations are born through styles such as wooden mosaic, dots, and pixels; where each element, either cut out in different shapes or kept in their original form, are connected in different styles, and shaven into the form of the final art piece. " - From Haroshi's site.

Julien Pacaud



Collage is a growing trend right now and at the lead is Julien Pacaud. His surreal and humorous compositions are funny and insightful at the same time.

Mark Pernice



Mark Pernice is an artist living in Brooklyn who works in all different mediums. He's recently hit the spotlight with his series of masks based on Apple's Photobooth distorted pictures. They are fantastic and disturbing at the same time. Browsing through his site though, he's so much more that just a pop sensation for the masks. He thinks on a greater level than just humor. He's a designer, an artist, a writer and a craftsman.
