beautiful expressions and as always i get a boner for minimalist drippiness

the sketchbook style lets you ask the important questions like “what happened to my vitriol?” and “dali or warhol?”

and lets you define things about yourself like “when it comes down to the mystery of love, i’m more inspector gadget than sherlock holmes”

this is refreshing, from the pop/low thats flooded right now. see Mr. Frivolous’s portfolio site.

It has kind of an anime quality but really I’m just a sucker for organic work like this.

I feel really bad about ganking these photos from the My Modern Met site — they have a ton more. These are just fantastic paintings I felt I would like people to know about.

Actually I’ve been going off lately about how it’s such and “indie” thing to use woodland creatures as masks and stuff in art these days. There are so many examples of antlers in hipster art, but hey, I’m going to let it slide for this artist. Nate Frizzell is very talented as you can see and I don’t feel that this work is cliche. It’s very interesting actually.

Keep up with Nate at his blog >>

“Coming to a complete stop”

“McGrath Highway”

“Junction”

The atmosphere in these is excellent and he did a good job of keeping true to the colors of the photographs from which I’m assuming they are referencing.  Still I can’t believe these are fucking oil paintings. Great werk.

See more at Gregory Thielker’s portfolio.

“Woman, Fire, and The Sea”

“Birds of Prey”

“Absurdist Logic”

This illustrator has a killer style, and I feel that I get pretty pulled into the drama of each image. Love this stuff.

Visit Jonathan Bartlett’s Portfolio to see these and other images LARGE.

Although photorealistic, that touch of surrealism pervades these images and all of Joshua Hagler’s images. It is a rare glimpse into the collective psyche of networked humans. Very cool stuff.

“beware of the friendly bomber”

“operation loveful heights”

“Our benefactors”

This basically line art evoked a flow that leads you straight to the maddening heights of an hallucinatory revelation. Of when it dawns on you that the dark overlords always have the upper hand. And us, in our little spaces claim our cities in vein.

“dead astronaut”

I don’t even know what to say about these. Super hip, supercool. Definitely drawing from the anime school, but not trapped in that. This stuff is rad and original.

This work is both painterly and glitchy at the same time. When you make this kind of stuff you can’t do anything but let it come out and be aware and conscious the entire time. It is not something you can really plan.

These illustrations have a limited palette but still capture everything that a photo of the same subject matter and emotional tone would catch. They are nice little slices of life at home. Really great work.

via | ICONology

These are like high brow children’s illustrations. The lighting in all of these is probably what attracts me the most. There’s this Tim Burton-y sense of form. Really great colors and just all around awesome.

This is the robot and donut infested world of Eric Joyner. Very cool creative stuff and also hilarious. It definitely twists up 1950s toys and graphics. And that ‘ol American style of illustration at the beginning of the 1900s. I am now a fan. See more at his portfolio: http://www.ericjoyner.com/

Astronaut The Captain, originally uploaded by vietnamthemovie.

very cool

Her work looks to have some influence of Alex Gray. But still she keeps it out of the realm of escapist mind-trip drivel that so many artists influenced by that guy end up doing.

But this work stands on it’s own, is saying something, and just bends things enough to let you know she understands the weirdness of this world. Also loooove the colors and composition. Well done.

Logorama from Marc Altshuler – Human Music on Vimeo.

From the creators:

This is a short film that was directed by the French animation collective H5, François Alaux, Hervé de Crécy + Ludovic Houplain. It was presented at the Cannes Film Festival 2009. It opened the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and won a 2010 academy award under the category of animated short.

In this film there are two pieces of licensed music, in the beginning and in the end. All the other music and sound design are original. The opening track (Dean Martin “Good Morning Life”) and closing track (The Ink Spots “I don’t want to send the world on fire”) songs are licensed pre-existing tracks. All original music and sound design is by, human (www.humanworldwide.com)

I think this is fabulous and amazing and I thought it was going to be commentary on the contant barrage of advertising in your face but it’s really just an awesome animated short with a great visual style.
