Jesús Perea

Madrid-born Jesús Perea is both a graphic designer and illustrator, the influences of one always present in the work of the other. I really enjoy the way he views the boundaries of the page and the color choices – or lack thereof – that he makes. Right now Perea’s focus is on creating limited edition prints of his work, a massive collection of these pieces are available for purchase in his shop.

Claire Harvey / Postcards

If you’re a nervous flyer you may want to skip ahead rather than look at this Postcards series by Claire Harvey. Because yes, those are tiny people balancing on the wings of airplanes mid-flight. Harvey creates each one during her own travels by taping acetate to the window and letting those creative juices flow!

I’m dying to be a fly on the wall in Marco Rea‘s studio to watch how he creates, specifically these mixed media pieces made with magazine covers and spray paint. Grotesquely beautiful, no?

Christine Lantz

Mixed media art really has the best of all worlds, doesn’t it? Christine Lantz‘s work is some of my favorite lately. Themes of nature, women, and science run throughout her portfolio with just a dash of vintage for good measure. Pick up a print or two for yourself at her Etsy shop, Stellaire Studio.

Javier Martin / Blindness Light

Babes so hot they’re literally electric. This mixed media series – Blindness Light – from Javier Martin is equal parts collage, neon light, and oil and acrylics. A recipe for awesome if I’ve ever seen one.

Amanda Happé

Toronto-based Amanda Happé is decidedly gifted in the painting and drawing areas of life. (As well as in the beautiful-long-red-hair area, but that’s another story.) Not one to shy away from color, Amanda embraces it wholeheartedly through all of her work. Her latest is a series referred to as Runes Water, full of stark imagery and simple shapes on clean white backgrounds.

Lorna Simpson

Lorna Simpson is a very accomplished artist, having created everything from large scale photo and text works to her latest – manipulated photographs from the 1950s. All of Lorna’s work confronts and challenges conventional views of gender, identity, culture, history, and memory, while each piece explores interactions, relationships, and experiences in contemporary America.
