Chicago based  Ryan Travis Christian is one of my favorite artists whose work I only discovered this past year. His large graphite works on paper burn my brain.

Total hazy/trippy goodness all around.

You just kind of stare at the graphite drawings of artist Frank Magnotta and say to yourself, “Wow, that’s really amazing.”

Brooks Shane Salzwedel is an artist and accessories designer who lives and works in Los Angeles. He creates his unusual work by layering graphite, tape and resin. It gives his imagery a strange and dream-like misty effect that works perfectly with his nature inspired themes. You can also buy his wares at Shane On You.

Yes, the work of Eric Yahnker is undeniably strange. This much is true. After the initial weird out has happened it begins to sink in that works like the pieces shown above were actually created in graphite. That’s right, they were drawn. When that realization occurs, it’s hard not to deny some keen talent and a really amazing eye.

The pencil drawings of artist Zdzisław Beksiński are mind blowing. If you are wealthy and have money to burn on art, buy a drawing.

Sam Green is responsible for some really beautiful illustrations. I have written about him before but he has put a few new pieces of work in his portfolio that are worth a browse. His work is really exceptional and just a lot of fun to look at.

I am really liking the deconstructive portrait graphite work from San Francisco artist Wesley Burt.
