gaston herrera
Illustrations by Gaston Herrera always deal with compromising situations but lately his vision has been focused on cars. Specifically, cars being damaged. Cars being burnt, rained on, cars overrun by creatures. It’s a bizarre obsession but it definitely captured my attention.
diogo costa
Diogo Costa is a Brazilian born, Oakland based artist whose dark tableaus instantly had me thinking of a modern version of Dürer’s apocalypse etchings.
clara-iris ramos
Sketchy mashups of shapes, patterns + beasts by Clara-Iris Ramos. Some of these combinations end up as monsters, some as distinguishable animals + others as completely abstract blobs. These almost remind me of a cruder version of Meyoko.

lee misenheime
Two words: WHOA.
As a big fan of Japanese tattooing + classic Japanese ink paintings, I’m always excited to find artists that are putting new twists on the timeless themes of the genres. Enter Lee Misenheimer, arguably the best artist cracking that nut today. Bananas.
valeria montero
Valeria Montero is a young design student from Argentina with a style that’s somewhere between children’s books, pin-up + folk art. Dig a little deeper in Valeria’s porfolio for some fantastic collage + abstract, geometric line drawings.

Illustration + mixed media work by John Casey. From John’s bio:
I’ve always made odd creatures. My mom saved some drawings that I created when I was about three years old. The figures in these drawings show not only the distorted perceptions of a child, but a fascination with skulls, teeth, spirographic eyes, and invented body parts. This obsession with strange creatures continued throughout my youth. Monster models, war dioramas, dinosaurs, and horror movies [this included “Creature Double Feature” on Saturday afternoons, of course occupied much of my time.
