Rich Gemmell is a freelance illustrator who has been working solo for 2 years. It sounds as though things are going well so far as several of his prints are sold out and he is currently tied up with several projects.
If you are looking for some affordable art to give as a gift over the Holidays, you can find all kind of art goodies at Poketo. They have really grown from their original ‘wallet’ days to include, apparel, prints, stationary, homeware, accessories and more. I recently received an email from them and decided to check out their storefront and spend a little time there and was really impressed by the wealth of what they now have to offer. It’s always a pleasure to discover another site or vendor that is trying to make art affordable for everyone.
The print above was created by the ‘Little Friends of Printmaking’ and is just one of several offered in the Poketo print store.
Illustrator Sanna Annukka really caught on to something special when she started incorporating her work into wall prints and the first image at her new website (above) portrays this realization in stark beauty. She also has a new storefront added to her new site that offers up some beautiful (yet pricey) prints.
Italian Illustrator/designer and founder of RevolverLover and ANTI magazine, Nazario Graziano has been busy updating his portfolio with some of his signature retro-inspired collage work.
20×200 got in touch yesterday to let me know that they have added the work of Chad Hagen to their already impressive cache of prints. Chad’s make believe ‘nonsensical’ info graphics swept the art and design blogosphere some months back. Now you can hang one on your wall.
There is some beautiful Japanese-inspired art in the University of Iowa-trained and now Atlanta-based portfolio of painter and printmaker Jiha Moon. You could call it culturally-infused abstract-expressionistic surrealism.
I just managed to somehow stumble upon Poster Cabaret this morning and was absolutely amazed at the treasure trove of great design and just beautifully composed posters ranging from art prints to gig posters within their vault. There is so much there I would like to take home that it will be tough to make up my mind. I will definitely be checking back to see what they stock in the future. Good way to decorate your home.
I am really loving this ornamental alphabet poster by typographer Jessica Hische today. Wish I had the cash on hand to pick one up. Beautiful work.

Illustrator/artist Jason Asato emailed to let me know he has put up a series of 8.5 x 11 inch prints for sale entitled, ‘Ridonkulous‘. The prints are high quality and very reasonably priced. Asato has a pretty unique sense of humor that shines through his work and website.
Have you ever wanted to own a print from Milton Glaser? Well ‘Milton Glaser Works‘ has got you covered with a series of Giclées in limited editions. The prints are numbered, signed and printed using archival ink and paper.
Keep Calm Gallery emailed this morning to inform me of some new prints they have in stock featuring the typographical stylings of Seb Lester. They are really beautiful prints, and if I wasn’t broke I would definitely pick one up myself. One of the prints is really large and I am sure it is beautiful in person. Stunning typography work.
Binth has some really nice prints including a larger-scale and smaller-scale series of one-of-a-kind prints that would make a great addition to anyone’s wall. Nothing like affordable art.
The first 50 of these gumball machine prints (for a pretty reasonable $30) from Vault 49, in celebration of their 7th anniversary will feature glow in the dark ink. It’s a perfect addition to any design aficionado’s black-lit bedroom/bathroom.
I was just informed that there are some new artists on the roster at the Few Gallery. I really like what they are doing. I may be doing something similar at the Changethethought Gallery in the near future.
Rory Kurtz has new prints for sale not to mention an absolutely stunning body of illustration work. He has a great style.
I ran across the work of illustrator Matias Vigliano today and really dig his style. He also has an Etsy shop with some really nice prints in it.
