Chewbacca riding a squirrel into battle against Nazis. Enough said. Check out Tyler Edlin’s other work here.

Is there really much more that I can say about these paintings beyond their obvious brilliance? No. So I won’t. The portraits are done to perfection by artist Greg Peltz. Found via Josh Spear.

Hey everyone, sorry about the hiatus. I’ve been working on a new design for the site, but realized that I can’t just neglect it while I’m doing that so I promise to keep posting. I decided to go with something that has a lot of color, and isn’t another video… So I’ve decided to show you an amazing artist named Francois Nielly who was born in Marseille and is now living in Paris. She does her work from black and white photos and uses a painting trowel instead of a brush. Check out her site here. Via Cool Hunter.

Here’s a fresh artist, Andy Thomson, that continues the western theme promoted by Red Dead Redemption. I especially like the Spaghetti Western influences in the first piece. You can go and check him out here at Society6.
Cayetano
Mar 12
Cayetano Valenzuela is an artist enomoured with the depiction of memory and dreams, which definitely comes through with his work. The striking colors, and odd placements of figures illicit that feeling that you get upon waking from a particularly vivid dream where everything seemed to make sense when it was happening but now just seems weird. You can check out some of his prints here, his website here, and a blog here.

Kaloian Toshev is a 22yr old artist from Bulgaria who has a great sense of space and color. Most of his paintings are of women (a popular subject), but no two pieces appear the same. It appears that he has a pretty bright future, and hopefully we’ll see more of his stuff over here. Check out his site here for more of his work. Found via design fckr.

Mexican artist Alberto Cerriteno’s work is awesomely weird. Using both painting and the digital world (mostly photoshop), he’s able to create pieces that have a large amount of depth to go with his largely two dimensional characters. Go check out more of his stuff here on his great homepage, or an inverview with him here. Enjoy. Found via Web Urbanist.
retro star wars
Feb 12
Continuing on what appears to be a trend, I present to you a re-imagining of the world of Star Wars by artist Justin Van Genderen. Following suite with the retro-ization (ya, pretty sure that’s not a word yet) of famous films, his posters represent some of the planets and places of the Star Wars galaxy, evoking a simpler time before the prequels were a glimmer in the CG eye of Jar Jar Binx. Check out his site here. Found via Boing Boing.

The world of Travis Louie is strange yet familiar. His family portraits are ones that you might come across in the local antique store except for the obvious fact that those portrayed are actual monsters. Well, is it too harsh to call them monsters? Especially when they’re so dressed up and pleasant looking? After all, are they really all that different from crazy uncle Larry? Go check out his site for more of the good stuff.
