Outlandishly beautiful and cut in all the right places, collage artist Marcelo Monreal takes a peek underneath some familiar faces to reveal what’s blooming inside.

Twisting. Spinning. Flowing effortlessly within each other. Artist and illustrator James R Eads showcases his harmonious style, well-suited for wanderers and mediations lovers. Oozing inspiration from the historical artist Vincent van Gogh, Eads style may be similar and consistent with the strokes of color and approach, I can see the evolution in it.

Just when you needed a visual to describe that animal you have roaming around hiding inside of you, Devin Mitchell gets you as close as he can with his new Faces of the Wild portrait series.

Artur Bordalo (aka Bordalo II)  might play with junk and trash, but what he makes out with it is far from that. Colossal size sculptures taking up whole sides of buildings, these gems do more than make for a mixture of something cool and amazing to look at, but they’re out to represent something too.

An illustrator from Gdynia, Poland, Patryk Hardziej is gaining major recognition for his surrealist style of work creating characters that live in a world like no other.

Paris-based street artist Ludo has apparently been pretty active as of late with new work floating around the streets of France.

Eye-catching from the jump, Thomas Lamadieu just might be carving out a new lane with this blended style of quality vertical view photography and some pretty charismatic illustrations.

The ever-growing in popularity Fred Tieken shows off his creative and colorful outlook in his most recent art exhibit, For The Birds.

Known about and first exposed to Fred and his very distinctive artwork at ARTELPHX, a huge installation showcase at the Clarendon Hotel, I still can’t turn away from his colorful and impressionistic work.

Stumbled upon through the power of the internet, I came across a fun and extremely creative illustrator in Victor Nunes with his cheerfully simple and detailed drawings. Utilizing household items to feature and toy with, not only is every drawing unique in itself in the scene they create, but each of the rubber bands, the pen caps, and even the whistles were used differently every time.

From first sight, Kendra Haste takes working with chicken wire to 3D level with her extremely lifelike and life-size animal sculptures. Captured in perfect motion, her sculptures take the true being of each animal and bring them into 3 dimensions.

Italian artist Francesco Camillo Giorgino, also known as Millo, has major style painting these large-scale murals featuring some oddly giant and monotone residents while they explore their creatively depicted urban city.

Street Artist L7m is an animal himself when it comes to creating the abstract with his colorful and surrealistic spray-painted birds.
