Painter Barbara Wijnveld uses big dripping blocks of water color to create some striking fashion-influenced portrait paintings that look much better hanging on a wall then they come across via the web. I’d love to see them in a gallery setting.

It’s been a while since I dropped in on Andrew Holder and as far as I can tell, it looks like there is some new work in his portfolio (possibly even a new site). Either way, if you are unfamiliar with his work, it is a special retro-stylized treat.

Jonathan Bartlett has a unique and interesting illustration style. In particular, I am really enjoying the use of space in some of his black and white work but his recently updated book merits a browse overall.

Justine Lai has painted herself having sex with each U.S. President, ending for now with Ulysses S. Grant. I don’t know how many more she plans on doing (pun intended) but I personally hope she keeps going because this is the coolest link I have discovered in a while. The Abraham Lincoln painting is an instant classic although spooning with Ben Franklin does look nice.

Just plain lovely illustration work from Raquel Aparicio. It’s light and dreamy, which in these times might just be what the doctor ordered.
