You may think Erik Jones has multiple personalities when viewing his work for the first time, but in fact, he’s well rounded and a master in multiple disciplines. Sometimes he opts to work with digital while other times he chooses the old fashion route and gets dirty with paint and canvas.

‘Blunt’, ‘edgy’ and ‘gritty’ are just some of the words that best define the artwork of Rita Gomes. Her pieces reflect internal thoughts, struggles and ideas that sometimes are just better left unsaid. She’s a young teenage ‘cool kid’ who has already worked with many established clients and is just starting to come into her element. Read more

Tom Muller is a great designer and one of my major influences. His work embodies all the characteristics of what design should be: clean, simple, intriguing, and brandable. His ability to incorporate these elements, and add his own flare into all of his projects, clearly puts him a cut above the rest.

The work of Stylianos Schicho focuses on composition and facial expression. Every illustration draws the viewer in through the eyes of the subject matter. What’s cool about his work is how he plays around with proportion and selective colour palettes. He’s a trippy artist with an extensive portfolio. Read more

I have not seen any artist, alive or dead, that has the ability to marry paint with metal as well as John Chamberlain. Although Chamberlain began producing these sculptures back in the 1950s, they still carry a great sense of design, style and originality. Chamberlain has treated most of his sculptures as abstract expressionist paintings, letting the fragments’ shapes and colors dictate the composition.

Let them sing it for you is a web widget that allows you to type in a sentence which is then played back using the same words culled from a library of popular songs. For instance if you type the word “I” it will play Chris Isaak singing that word in the song Wicked Games. If a word cannot be found, you can enter a song which contains the missing word and expand the library.

Why should the devil have all the good music? Finland’s Holy Blood is a great folk-black metal band by any standard, but its horn-raising tunes are all for the glory of the Good Lord rather than Satan or Odin. What would Jesus do? According to Holy Blood, he’d ride through the forests drinking mead and slaying non-believers.
