Here are some caricatures of musicians that I recently completed. The obvious big names are Jack White and Lana Del Rey, while the two newbies are South African upstarts Spoek Mathambo and Johannine. Read more

I recently completed yet another cover for Something Wicked magazine, a great little indie sci-fi and horror monthly. This time I got to indulge my inner geek somewhat with a space station, shuttle and messed-up planet Earth down below. Better than real work any day of the week.

This page recently came to my attention, and despite my best attempts to expose it as a Christwire-type parody, I could not. This is, in fact, a legitimate wedding service site that will make your brain melt in no time. It has to be experienced, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Coro is a co-founder of the mighty Massive Black and a great artist, both personally and professionally. His oil portraits are a pleasure and his seminal work, Transient, is a massive achievement in the field of self-produced graphic novels. Read more

Michael Kutsche is a German-born concept artist, producing work of such stunning richness and complexity that the broader project almost becomes irrelevant. He is responsible for the insane visual progression of Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland that we saw in the Tim Burton film. Also, most recently, he did some incredible work for the upcoming John Carter film, which promises to be one of the year’s more visually stimulating flicks. Read more

In the post-Oscar tabloid void, there is this little snippet for the ADD crowd that should satisfy the celebrity craving for the time being, courtesy of one Jimmy Kimmel.

The endlessly inventive Cape Town (and London) based electro outfit Lark have just released their latest video to coincide with the release of their long-awaited new album. The haunting, stark visuals disguise a disorienting complexity that might make you fall off your chair if you look too hard.

For anyone who saw the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, they were no doubt as jolted into Salander’s world as I was by the opening sequence. I found myself grinning ear-to-ear in anticipation of what David Fincher’s going to inflict on us this time and he did not disappoint. So I recently came across this beautiful breakdown [see below] of the design process, which includes the original credit sequence. If you haven’t seen the film, check this out. Read more

Currently taking place at Name This Bar in Darlinghurst, Sydney, is the summer 2012 season of Art Battles Australia. This fortnightly event pits two artists against each other. Producing a mural in front of a live, cheering audience, the winner on the night progresses through to the semis and hopefully finals in the end. Read more

Having recently made my way to Sydney, I have begun thoroughly immersing myself in the creative depth it has to offer. As a progression of my existing work, my current output has split along two divergent tracks. Read more

Capetonian anti-heroes Die Antwoord brought a healthy dose of Zef to the Late Show with Dave Letterman this week when they performed their latest single, Fink You Freeky. After the Lana Del Rey episode, they probably figured uppers beat downers for this kind of thing. As an Afrikaans dude, I grin when phrases like ‘ek’s ‘n lanie, jy’s ‘n gam’ enter the global vernacular, not to mention ‘tokelosi’.

I love Geirrod Van Dyke’s work for his portrayal of our imperfections and vulnerabilities. The first thing that caught my eye were the bodies and the pools of light, but there is a sense of impending doom that creeps in and it feels like all the iPads in the worlds won’t do a thing to stop it. Of course, I have always had a soft spot for the end of the world. Read more

Dal East is a diamond in the rough. When I first took notice of his work, I suspected a one-off piece of art, but digging deeper, an impressive pattern emerged. He has travelled widely and left his unique visual mark across numerous cities. His style is a unique one: loose sketches that are tightened into lit wireframes often echoing nature, giving the work a timeless almost mythological feel. Read more

Skip Liepke’s work makes me happy. Since first discovering it years ago, it has made me want to paint recklessly, with big wet wads of colour, because at the end of the day, character beats photo-realistic control every time. Moving from the Impressionists through Jenny Saville to reach a most edible and inspiring destination. Read more

I find myself simultaneously fixated and terrified with human development and extinction. The way we are enveloping everything like ivy. There is also an incredible beauty in this, and artists that reflect this tend to pull me in like the proverbial maelstrom. Read more
Dosh is a super-slim, go-anywhere wallet, built for a go-anywhere lifestyle. This Dosh Wallet was designed by Joanthan Zawada, a Sydney-based artist who has created commercial works of art for Ksubi, Modular records, The Presets and Tina Kalivas.
Jesse Balmer’s work gets better every time I see it. I follow him on Tumblr, so I see his work every day. Jesse Balmer’s work gets better every day. The dude is a monster drawer and an inspiration. He likes to draw cat-men and bird-planes, jungles, outer space, and cat-men getting their faces crushed. Read more

Based in the Netherlands, Rajacenna draws the most brilliantly hyper-realistic pencil portraits of celebrities we’ve seen. What’s even more impressive is that she’s completely self-taught. Damn! Now, where the hell is my pencil sharpener? Read more
New York’s Infinity Window make some tripped-out, droning, psychedelic raagas that would be appropriate scoring films by Kenneth Anger or John Carpenter. Ominous and dark, the duo makes sounds like the rebirth of an ancient god.

Scott Sternberg created the great Los Angeles label, Band of Outsiders, and it’s one of the few labels that fit a little guy like me perfectly. I live in BOO shirts. They are my second skin.
