MAD C is an amazing German graffiti artist with a brutal style of street letters. You probably couldn’t guess that MAD C is female. And the best thing is that, everyone expects female artists to make cute stuff, but MAD C isn’t that kind of artist. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I found her Vimeo videos on how she makes masterpieces on walls. Her most famous work is called 700 -WALL, a 700 square meter wall covered with graffiti that she painted all by herself. She has also published two books of fonts, which include crazy styles of street alphabet.

I’ve always had a fascination with abstract images, so when I stumbled upon Texas-based artist Taylor McClure, I loved how the colors of his illustrations popped out. Basing his artwork on random doodles in his sketchbooks, he creates abstract and vivid images that really stand out. Read more

When I first stumbled upon Vaka Valo’s works entitled Dream Diary, it made me wonder if he actually dreamt these or if he just made them out of fun due to it’s twisted content: from people being chloroformed to someone torturing people with household items. With the illustrations giving off a feel of old instructional-like images, this series really defines dark humor in an oddly beautiful way. Read more

I’ve been an avid follower of the work of New York-based illustrator, Sara Blake, aka HelloZSO, for several years now. Blake is a rare breed of artist who seems to have found a perfect combination of traditional and digital elements in her work. In 2011, she launched the 100 Girls series, an exploration of how a drawing style can evolve through repeated subject matter. Read more

This latest Pin Art project for Plaza Magazine, by still life and interior photographer Philip Karlberg, is something memorable.

Godmachine is one of the most underrated illustrators. His style is a combination of old-school skateboard and thrash metal brutal horror neon style. Or as he says, his art is born of Jim Philips and raised by Simon Biseley, and adopted by his everyday influences: film, music and literature.

I recently came across Helen Musselwhite’s beautiful paper sculptures. Inspired by nature, her stunningly intricate layered designs draw you into a fairytale world of forests, flowers and hedgerows. Her framed pieces make beautiful wall art, but it’s her haunting sculptures in glass domes that really stick in my mind. Read more

Baltimore’s Teeth Mountain create pulsing, shamanistic, tribal-sounding tracks from a bunch of floor toms, cello, mandolins, keyboards, saws, and whatever else they can get their hands on. The chaotic music they make is noisy, roughly-hewn, and impulsive-sounding, but that seems to be the point. They’re trying to evoke a sort of post-apocalyptic primitivism. It will be interesting to see where this collective takes their aesthetic.
