Demetrius May



I’m really digging the work of Demetrius May, an Art Center and grad and Los Angeles resident. His paintings feature an odd mixture of nostalgia and pop culture, with halftones and really bright colors being popular themes. The two images above were my favorites, they’re both so bright and almost to the point of being surreal. Imagine one of these blown up to an enormous size and hanging on your wall… people would definitely notice.

Sozi Toys by Rilla Alexander





I grabbed a link from Deanne Cheuk’s twitter last week and it lead me to the work of Rilla Alexander. Rilla is an Australian illustrator currently working in Berlin and she’s also a card carrying member of Rinzen. Browsing through all of her beautiful work I came across these Sozi toys she created with her mother and sister about 8 years ago. They’re made of embroidered wool and are some of the coolest dolls I’ve ever seen.

I really love that they did different versions like the gray one who looks kind of sad and the lightning struck skeleton version is amazing. Look at the “oh shit” look on the cats face! I wish these were for sale, I would snatch them all up.

The Last Thousand Years: A New Exhibit by Evan Hecox



Evan Hecox has a new exhibit up at The Joshua Liner Gallery in New York called The Last Thousand Years which is inspired by a recent trip to Vietnam. Yet again he’s created another beautiful body of work just like his previous exhibit here in L.A. which centered around Mexico City. His pieces yet again are filled with bustling life of a big city, with people on bikes, power lines zig-zagging the sky and many of the pieces filled with deep reds and yellows.

A Seasonal Study of an Imaginary Forest by Jon Ashcroft

Fall in Los Angeles doesn’t really seem to hit until early Novemeber, but every now and then you have to wear a hoodie and you remember it’s not always summer here. I’m actually looking forward to fall and winter and getting bundled up, and the illustration above by Jon Ashcroft is a suitable reminder that it’s gonna be getting cold soon. I love how vertical this is, for lack of a better word, and the colors are totally spot on and beautiful. I want a print of this Jon!
