Marisa Purcell’s work is absolutely stunning. Her latest series of artworks, Only the Memories are New, ‘represents an even further delve by the artist into unchartered realms of the psyche. Instinctual and unexplained, the paintings invite the viewer to confront dreamlike worlds where inside meets outside and reality is constructed from fragments of memory and time. Read more

Painter and animator Katy Dove seems to visualise the sliding, bold movements of what it is to be and to feel human. Dove paints in watercolour and scans her images into the computer, overlaying them with duplicated paper cutouts. Read more

Renee Garner is an artist living and working in the suburbs of Charlotte, North Carolina. Of her beautifully simple yet strikingly coloured work, she says: ‘My university background is in Fibers as Fine Arts, and even though my work is mostly drawing and painting, the sensitivity to fibers as a source of line-inspiration is fairly apparent. I’m interested in proliferating the details of beauty’. [see also the work of illustrator Vicki Newman]

I love the sense of mystique that Mario Sughi captures with his illustrations. There always seems to be a simmering storyline brewing below the surface of the frame.

Brooklyn-based Joel Holland works freelance for magazines and publishing houses, creating advertisement illustration for agencies and design companies. His portfolio showcases a brilliant use of colour, his designs never being overworked, while his hand lettered type makes him one of my favourite typographers around right now.

I’ve always liked the thought of a ‘peoples choice’ award. It means that the masses love you and that’s what counts right? That and winning something. Lucky Ben Newman received the People’s Choice Award at the Bristol Art Show in 2006. You can see why his work appeals — his bold graphic lines and creatures inspired by superheroes and rope swings are strong and instantly recognizable. Read more

Get your wallets out and get in early: Geoffrey Todd Smith is featured in the April 2007 issue of Chicago Magazine as one of Chicago’s ‘rising stars we should be collecting now’. His trippy hand-made drawings are inspired by activities of his youth — stickers, jigsaws and doodling. All the designs are begun without a specific idea, which emphasizes a responsive approach to his drawing. Read more

When you first hear William Elliot Whitmore’s voice, it’s hard to believe he isn’t a grizzled old man. The baritone-voiced one-man-band does rousing bar room ballads on the banjo and guitar that are sure to send shivers down your spine. On closer listen, Whitmore’s voice does seem slightly affected. But like Tom Waits before him, his voice is likely to age like a good scotch.
Listen to the William Wlliot Whitemore track, Dry.
