Koibito

Yoskay Yamamoto's beautifully colored work reflects his asian background with swirling line work, frail figures, and flatness of depth.

Sketch Fest Tuesday

Sketch Fest Tuesdays are held once a month on a random tuesday at 111 Mina in San Francisco. The basic concept of Sketch Fest Tuesdays is a gathering of artists siting around in a bar, drinking and creating art. You are also free to post your work on a board for sale. Most of the pieces are dirt cheap... I haven't seen a piece posted for sale that wasn't under $60.

I attended my first Sketch Fest Tuesday last night with a few friends. I did three pieces, one I sold for a beer, one I traded, and one I gave away. The atmosphere is very conductive to creating and even if you don't sell anything (or like a few of my friends, don't draw), it's still a mighty good time.

I'm Not a Monster

Alex Solis's work is rendered with loving care adding beautiful textures to the animals and creatures that he illustrates. His understanding of color livens up detailed pieces which would otherwise be a confusing mess of lines.

Dave Cooper: Danko Jones video

Speaking of Dave Cooper, here's the Danko Jones video he designed. It's got all the touches of Cooper, voluptuous girls, latex, big butts, and girl on girl wrestling.

Accidental Score

Justin DeGarmo has a soft, chalk-like style with his acrylic paintings. His work is very reminiscent of Dave Cooper thrown in with a bit of Steve Weissman, which makes for a great mash-up. Like Cooper, DaGarmo's graphite work is nothing short of amazing.

RADICAL!

RADICAL! BPN has this great goopy style that cries out for attention. His plushy figures interact with more liquid based, drippy entities forming a mushy juxtaposition of boldness.

Plastique Monkey

Yuka Yamaguchi creates delightfully disturbing images of young children and animals being beautifully mutilated. Not many can pull of a smooth color pencil style, but the self taught Yamaguchi pulls it off splendely.
