Annie Collinge is a Brooklyn based artist. She born 1980 in London, England and studied at Central Saint Martins and Brighton University. Her portraits have a strange beauty to them in their awkwardness and saturated color.
I want this... Good Fucking Design Advice. Sometimes I feel like I need a little reminder.
I love Stephane Fugier's interaction with the human form. As a mostly figurative artist his work really excites me and gives me fresh ideas.
A friend of mine sent me a link to some work done by Joshua Hagler. I really enjoy the intensity in his work like every piece is caught at the exact moment before you are cover in a messy explosion of goup.
Conrad Ruiz or "Conradical" is a painter that lives and works in the Los Angeles area. He received his masters where I did my undergrad- California College of the Arts (and Crafts). He is inspired by pop culture, Hollywood cinema, and chaotic climactic explotions. His work is definately mesmerizing and comical but at the same time he deals with popular notions of class, race and gender.
