As a young artist Brian Gray had been influenced by graffiti art, vintage comic books, old school hand drawn advertising, MAD Magazine, and the Saturday morning cartoons of the 80’s. As his artwork developed Brian became heavily influenced by the “lowbrow” art movement and the underground art scene that dominates so much of Los Angeles and the West Coast scene in general. He began to follow several artists he read about in various art magazines and on numerous art blogs. Artists such as Joe Ledbetter, Gary Baseman, Tim Biskup, Greg "Craola" Simkins, David Hovarth, and Buff Monster, are some of the artists that have made a lasting impression on Brian over recent years. Brian best describes his art as, “fun, imaginative, and whimsical but, with a slight touch of a hidden darkness.”
When imagination is coupled with a skilled hand you get the kind of artwork that Teresa Murphy creates. There are may things that will blow your mind about Teresa's art, two of them are, that it is highly imaginative and very detailed. It was difficult to choose which of her artwork to highlight in this post and when you visit
Teresa's website you'll see why. At first glance you might think Teresa's art is about darkness because of the numerous depictions of skulls, but upon further investigation you'll realize her work is filled with fantasy, symbolism and perhaps truth and sadness. You must, however, investigate it for yourself to come away with your own interpretation - ah the beauty of art.

Artist Kristina Nelson has spent years - many hundreds of hours - honing her skills as a crayon artist.
Wait a minute!
Yes, go ahead. Read that first line again.
Kristina Nelson has created the art featured here - and numerous other pieces - using the same simple, ordinary crayons that children use in their coloring books. But as you can clearly see, there is nothing simple nor ordinary about what Kristina creates with this medium.
Kristina earned a degree from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. She then spent a year studying under Don Marco, one of the few and foremost crayon artists in the world, and later, set off to open her own studio.

Let's keep the Halloween spirit going with these festive, handmade Sugar Skulls and gift tags from Black Ribbon Society.
The skulls were printed by hand using an original linocut, then each is hand-painted to add even more character. The tags were hand-cut, hole-punched, painted and heat-embossed, so each tag is unique.
There are more treats to discover at the Black Ribbon Society Etsy Shoppe. Perhaps you should lead the way…
If you'd like to see some wickedly delicious black and white illustrations then you're going to want to check out Gatafunho illustrations. There are four right now selling at their Etsy shop.

Who says spooky zombies are only for Halloween? Thanks to
vector artist John Schwegel for his sci-fi and fantasy cartoon t-shirts. Now zombie love can be celebrated all year long. You're definitely going to want to get yourself a few of these shirts.

We had a nice response to
Tommy Kane's feature a couple of weeks ago. Why not highlight his Etsy store sooner than later? At his store, Tommy welcomes you to his "humble boutique". Take some time to window shop and perhaps pick up a couple of things.
Seems like only yesterday when
artist Nate Owens was featured on
Illustration Pages. But can you believe it was back in August? Wow, time flies! Where did the summer go? Anyway, back in August we featured Nate's
imagekind store where he sells prints of his illustrations and paintings. He also has a separate
Zazzle store where he sells his art on mugs and t shirts. Fun!
Meet illustrator, designer and
animator Tali Gal-on. Tali studied animation at the Victorian College of the Arts in her hometown of Melbourne. Below is one of her great, little shorts appropriately titled,
Lucille. The film is about a young girl who encounters hostile territory when she enters a guitar shop for the first time and collides with the store owner, a self-obsessed aging rocker. Lucille also gets the pleasure of experiencing other odd characters, all of who make up a concentrated mix of repressed musical frustration, trepidation and raging egos.
After you have a look at her film jump over to Tali Gal-on’s Etsy shop,
milk and cookies, and take a gander at her irresistible collection of illustrations for sale.
If you love hand drawn typography and wacked out characters you’re going to love the work of
illustrator Andy Smith. There’s so much great work to see from Andy that you should set aside a chunk of time before you sit down to it.
Talk about cool – Andy has a bunch of awesome screen prints and books for sale but you’d better jump on over real quick. From the looks of things they’re selling like hotcakes.
The expressions on the faces of the characters in
Nate Owens’ paintings are priceless – not to mention the situations he puts them in. His art has a Norman Rockwell feel to it. Wouldn’t you agree? There’s so much to look at in every painting – each with its own unique story to tell. He’s certainly an artist that loves what he does and is having a good time doing it. As you look through his art you’ll find that there’s also a serious side to Nate Owens, evident in many of his other beautifully rendered paintings. Whatever the subject matter, Nate Owens’ approach to painting is that of an exceptionally skilled craftsman on a noble quest to make us smile.
Nate Owens has been doing illustrations for publication and gallery art (oils, watercolors, acrylics, etc.) for years. His art has appeared on everything from bus benches to ads, magazine illustrations, TV spots and gift products like coffee mugs, shirts, greeting cards and wall decor prints.
Artist Woulter Tulp has crafted a remarkable body of work in a variety of styles and medium over the past decade. A graduate of Willem de Kooning Academie, Woulter has been making a living as an illustrator since 2001.
Woulter creates incredible caricatures of historical figures such as President Obama and Abraham Lincoln – entertainers such as Johnny Cash and Michael Jackson. He has even completed a few of his friends and family. But caricatures are one aspect of this versatile artist. Explore his work further and discover more treasure along the way.
It’s absolutely incredible how Wouter can move in and out of such a wide range of styles and still maintain the same flawless excellence within each one. Every illustration he creates is equivalent to the other in terms of mastery, inventiveness, and beauty. Such an enormous body of work would be impossible to record all in one post but hopefully the work that is displayed here is reflective of his many techniques and approaches to art.
Would you like to have some Friday fun? Enter the wacky world of Michael Slack. Now here’s a guy that knows how to dream up some crazy characters and outlandish scenes. If Michael’s artwork came to life would you bust a gut laughing or head for the hills screaming?
Michael’s world is fantastically silly and imaginative. He clearly loves what he does and so do we. Wouldn’t it be great to have a Michael Slack creation as an
Illustration Pages mascot? Hint – Hint – Wink – Wink …
Here’s something that will surely catch your eye - one of the books Michael has illustrated called,
The Flim-Flam Fairies. It’s about some gross, oddball fairies, like the Fart Fairy, Snot Fairy, and Dirty Underwear Fairy that try to over throw the Tooth Fairy to weasel in on her corner of the “under-the-pillow” market. Michael sure is one heck of a lucky guy to be working on such fun projects. He’s also clearly one heck of a talented guy too.
Michael’s art inhabits the canvas as well as the digital world. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Painting from the San Francisco Art Institute. He allows himself time to spend on his personal drawings and paintings, �
How would you like to step inside the mind of artist Travis Millard? You might not come out the same on the other side. These are some wild illustrations he’s conjuring up. Travis waves his freak flag high and let’s his imagination run loose like a madman with the keys to the asylum. And wouldn’t you agree that’s what an artist should do? Fearless - no holds barred - let it go from the brain to the paper – that’s the pure essence of the creative spirit. Why be afraid to put down on paper or canvas what it is that you want to put down? Artists like Travis Millard are saying to hell with conventional thinking – my way is much more fun.
His work looks like it might have some
Robert Crumb or a little bit of S. Clay Wilson influence to it. Heck, everyone has been influenced by someone. Still Travis Millard is definitely original in his own right. Eye gouging, hand biting with some face melding make out sessions – yeah this guy certainly isn’t having any problems creating unique pieces of art.
It's hard to believe what some artists can create using charcoal, ink and graphite. Jeffrey Richter is one such artist. His meticulously detailed images are seductive and haunting, thought provoking and full of depth. In black and white, grayness and shadow, machinery is melded into the human form and beauty morphs into nightmares. Each of his pieces tells a story, like the woman above who sews herself together to become complete.
Love and war, strength, life and death, conflict and the relationship between man and machine, this is the art of Jeffrey Richter communicated with passion and contemplation. Beyond his impressive skill as a draftsman, Jeffrey captivates his viewers with the stories he tells about each piece and the stories his viewers can’t help but imagine about them on their own.
When not designing apparel as a graphic artist, Jeffrey can be found in his studio in St. Clair, Missouri recording his dreams and thoughts on paper – creating his astonishing works of art.
Illustrator Jennifer Thermes creates whimsical illustrated maps for various clients, such as Westchester Magazine, Mobile Travel guide, Wisconsin Trails, The Wall Street Journal and others. Through pens, paints and paper, Jennifer has traveled the globe.
Jennifer is also a
children’s book author and illustrator. She has written and illustrated two well received children’s books.
When I Was Built is a story of an old 18th-century house which is given a voice and persona to remember how people lived when it was first built, compared to life for the people who live in it today. And
Sam Bennett’s New Shoes, is about a boy growing up on a farm in colonial times, who learns about the tradition of hiding old shoes in the walls of his family’s house to bring good luck, and eventually passes on the tradition to his own child.
Prints of the charming illustrations above, along with a selection of Jennifer's beautifully illustrated maps and other illustrations can be purchased online at her
imagekind store.
Megan Duncanson is a self taught contemporary artist living out her dream of creating beautiful artwork in her studio at the remote location of Meyers Chuck, Alaska.
Megan draws inspiration from the many places she has lived throughout her life such as the secluded bush of Alaska and the tropical paradises of Hawaii and Florida. Inspiration from these places comes in many forms such as trees, boats, birds, vibrant sunsets, water, palm trees, cities, martinis; anything she sees around her can be used to it's fullest extent to draw the viewer into each piece and provide them with an enriching and pleasurable experience. A highly prolific artist, she literally produces hundreds of paintings each year.
Megan strives for her art to have an element of surprise, and at the same time, affect each individual on a personal level with elements they can relate back to their own life experiences. She describes her style of art as a mix of Contemporary Eclecticism and Pop. And yet, it is different and unique in its own way, which is refreshing, and full of light and laughter.
Megan Duncanson's goal as an artist is to bring happiness and joy into people's lives through art. When people look at her art and smile, Megan feels she has a
Emma Klingbeil creates artwork depicting odd little creatures and their bizarre lives, acting out their peculiar desires in places that exist briefly, within some random point in time.
Emma’s artwork can also be evocative of a haunting childhood memory - a monster cloaked by darkness behind a shower curtain, or the cat whispering in the emptiness that is the night - and then – nothing. It’s all shut away in the recesses of the mind to be recalled with one chilling glance of an Emma Klingbeil creation.
Emma Klingbeil is a freelance artist located in Central Wisconsin. She is currently attending the Academy of Art University to pursue a BFA in Traditional Illustration. In her work Emma explores different medium such as
encaustic, and traditional oil.
Cloud landscapes, abstracts, whimsical art, lollipop trees, mountains, sunsets and dreamscapes, this is the art of Matthew Hamblen.
Matthew has been selling his paintings on Etsy for about ten years now. He considers himself to be an “improvisational artists”, meaning his paintings are based off his spontaneous thoughts and free spirit – the freedom to paint without limits.
Matthew describes his work as moody, spiritually uplifting, unrestrained and fun.
