Sergio Mora is probably one of my favorite artists ever. I just can’t get enough of looking at his adorable tattoo series. And his illustrations and paintings are absolutely captivating. I love the humor and the surrealism in his pieces. Just when I think he couldn’t get better, he comes up with a new piece that totally blows my mind.

Photo-realism, anyone? I am not a painter, but I can only imagine how time consuming this type of painting is with ONE image to paint. Pakayla Biehn is what happens when someone takes it to the next level, or to the second exposure. Pakayla paints the dual imagery of nature and humanity that result in whimsical landscapes of the imagination.Â

Kris Knight is a Canadian painter influenced by symbolist and romantic painting. I particularly like the expression of his faces and the ethereal and shiny skins that he gives his subjects. Knight paints boys and girls that are between youth and adulthood: ambiguous portraits, full of innocence and erotism.

Working with a cat as passionate as Daojia, and the militant underground legends, Scan 7, we knew we wanted the label to work as hard as the artists. It took a lot more paint and time than expected, but the first press is something special to us: a left-field record in unique sleeves.

Hyesu Lee’s cheerful color palette and childlike recklessness belie the depth of feeling and true mastery of craft that distinguishes her work. From image to image, Hyesu introduces us to the flora and fauna of a world that only she can see. Along with her portfolio of paintings, Hyesu maintains a regular drawing journal called Dear Anne where she matches her drawings with observations about her life and surroundings that never fail to take the reader by surprise. Through Hyesu’s eyes we see the city of New York for the alien land that it is.

Flox is New Zealand’s queen of the stencil. Her artworks are made up of layer upon layer of flowery, birdy goodness. Her artwork reminds me of bush walks and muddy shoes. Whenever I see one of her paintings, I want to go outside and find some greenness to get lost in.

The drawings and paintings by LA-based artist Karlin Collette combine saccharine sweet imagery with quiet, somewhat dark symbolism. She uses bright, saturated colors to paint her heroines and enjoys incorporating detailed pencil work into her pieces. She’s inspired by old children’s books, travel and anything vintage.

My latest body of work has been about interconnectivity through technology and exploring hypothetical visualizations of these digital realms through painting, 3D animation, and collage.

Maurizio Bongiovanni’s work totally draws the viewer in. He creates it from potographs abstracted through photoshop which are then painted on a large scale. His work walks the fine line of figuration and consideration. No wonder I dig it.

My work is heavily influenced by the 60s, 70s and 80s when technology was less developed and drawing and painting were used more commercially. In my drawings, IÂ am obsessed with delicate little details and pattern and the human form and when I take photographs I am looking for a sense of quiet and space and otherworldliness.
