Phil Hale is a master at what he does best, and what he does best is create drama and tension, both quiet and loud, in his work. Fantastic!

In her ethereal landscapes Jaclyn Shoub manages to highlight the absence of what previously existed as much as she depicts what remains. The result is a series of haunting images that linger long after I’ve left her site.

I am crazy for Amanda Visell’s crazy world of robots, animals, and people-eating. Her early animation aspirations are evident in the design of her characters and settings, and her mad-scientist brain is evident in her awesomeness. Enjoy!

I might not be packing my bags to spend the weekend in New York, but I can still witness the city through Janet Ternoff’s eyes and art. Â She has been spending a great deal of time documenting the city she lives in, and for that I thank her.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Witnessing the way another person chooses to represent the world in their art is a way into seeing how another person sees the world, and I love the way David Kopulos sees the world.

Going through the archives on Jake Scharbach’s site you will find an abundance of fantastic paintings and drawings, like the above image from his “Faces of Friends” series. Â Click on the “recent” button on his site however and you’ll be treated to some amazing quicktime videos that open up his painting process while standing as works of art all on their own.

Jennifer Lewis Takahashi’s still life paintings are heavily layered and textured, not only in subject matter, but in meaning, and I find the  more time I spend with them the more I get absorbed in their suggested narratives.

I can’t think of a better way to start the week than with the incredibly fun illustrative style displayed by Phil Noto.  Be sure to check out his comic art to boost that fun quotient even further!
Michael Kagan

Creating large-scale works that retain a sense of intimacy and immediacy is not the easiest thing to do, but Michael Kagan handles the challenge incredibly well, regardless of the formality of his chosen setting (or lack of formality as the case may be.)
Sandra Power

I am greatly enjoying the finely rendered still life paintings of Sandra Power. Spend some time on her site and I believe you will soon be greatly enjoying them yourself.
