victor ekpuk

victor ekpuk - a melange of graphics, asemic writing, colour. fascinating!

njideka akunyili crosby

has njideka akunyili crosby on here before - still one of my favourite portraitists

kraak & smaak

ksenija sidorova and thomas gould

ashley mckenzie

ashley mckenzie - her sense of movement is just sublime. on my best day i couldn't capture what she appears do to so effortlessly!

alice russell

kunihiro amano

there's always corvid love here so here's this from kunihiro amano

abdoulaye aboudia diarrassouba

there's an energy in aboudia's that really reminds me of marc basquait. and i'm very good with that!

laurent garnier

ray charles

astrid fitzgerald

she likes her geometry does astrid fitzgerald and that suits me just fine, as well as a sort of old school formalism in her approach to colour which i can't argue with!

tamara natalie madden

there's something otherworldly about tamara natalie madden's work. i want to copy some of these to get an iudea of how she makes her shapes and gets her colours down. and, obviously, i'm loving all those wee motifs

lance ferguson

derdimi dokersem

michelle mckinney

as ever, it's artists who do something i just couldn't do on my best day that always catch my eye and michelle mckinney does just that

isabelle malmezat

 isaid the other day i didn't much care for images of animals so decided that was as good as an excuse as any to challenge that so here's this from isabelle malmezat, which is a horse, but only just (i think i was scarred early by pics of horses!). i really like the way she gets the colour down.

pascal laloy

feeling like something calming today and this, by pascal laloy, fits the bill just nicely

thabo motseki

every so often i'll come across an artist that just opens my eyes to a whole new set of perspectives. such is thabo motseki. i'm astonished he isn't better known, especially in these internet days, rather than having to go and live in america or europe.

sufjan stevens

el trio matamoros

duj sandale

hiromi nishizaka

i'm just realising i'm not a big fan of pictures of animals but i do like this one. it's attributed to hiromi nishizaka which i find difficult to believe as it's so different from everything else he's done (and not for me at all!). put me right if you know better

virginie demont-breton

it's not often i go old school with the imagery here but i was really taken by this by virginie demont-breton. there's a van gogh connection to the time period she was painting here if you care to google. (no clues - it's not difficult!)

shaka ponk

andrey surnov

andrey surnov is another whose website is mostly in russian so i can't find it. this image is atypical (it's attributed to him) but i love the weeds

li huayi

this bit of peace from li huayi is just what i need of a monday morning

elmer food beat

bumcello

quantic soul orchestra

olga and sergei kammenoy

olga and sergei kammenoy don't apear to have an internet presence in english but they're all over google. and with good reason. copy. paste. browse. if this is the sort of thing you like - this is the sort of thing you'll like

boris indrikov

i don't know where the world boris indrikov inhabits in his head lies but i know i want to go there
