viktor gårdsäter
Viktor Gårdsäter makes work that just seems so…Swedish, I guess. His subjects are stoic but not cold + the photographs themselves are simple + solemn.
jamie bennett
Jamie Bennett‘s son says funny stuff + she illustrates it. Awesome. See the full series here.
jessica tremp
I don’t usually get into staged photographs but something about Jessica Tremp‘s work has me looking twice. Maybe it’s the taxidermy. Maybe it’s the red riding hood, dark fairy tale element. Or it might just be that her work offers a seriously ambiguous story that allows us to fill in the blanks as our imagination [...]
cisco ksl
I wrote this post once before. It was about drawing similarities between the illustrations of spanish artist Sisco KSL + tattoos/tattoo culture. Then I followed a link on his Behance that led me to find out that he is, in fact, actually a tattoo artist. Awesome. Cisco’s work is totally great on both fronts, so [...]
richt
I’ve been a big fan of the UK’s Richt for a while now. I think his work is overwhelmingly powerful + raw, even when it’s funny + crass. I’m not sure if it’s the heavy patterns, strong colorways, or cultural relevancy but there’s an energy that’s really captivating.
deanna ip
Intense, kinda low brow (medium brow?) paintings by Toronto’s Deana Ip. Amazing! Sadly, Deanna’s portfolio is super slim. I want to see more.
status by dynamo [giveaway!]
Montreal design shop Dynamo have put together this amazing little book called Status (and Statut, it’s bi-lingual). The book is a collective musing on what we say over social media networks. Dynamo collected 88 pages worth of the best broadcasts, ranging from hilariously off-kilter to a dark + cryptic. It’s also beautifully designed, front to back. [...]
bene rohlmann
There’s a cool enjoyment I get out of seeing awesome contemporary artists play with iconography from our collective childhoods. Behold, He-Man by Bene Rohlmann aka Pearpicker. Bene’s portfolio is chock full of illustrated radness, with + without cultural references. Choice.
Katie Scott
Two things you need to know: 1. That is an old man, possibly a priest, vomiting up the contents of an entire working butcher shop. 2. Nope, that’s it. Amazing illustrations by the hilarious, clever, talented Katie Scott.
Ivan Sanjuan
For the most part, it’s fairly easy to recognize when photography is film or digital but the portfolio of Spanish photographer Ivan Sanjuan straight up screams film. I don’t know if it’s bad processing or intentional aging but there’s a certain old-time, classic aesthetic to Ivan’s work.
