I’ve admired Milt Kobayashi’s work before. This painting is one he did as a demo at the Scottsdale Artists’ School. Click on the picture and you can see the painting super-zoomed-in. Check out the fat white paint on her shoulder, and the thin brushy underpainting of her hair.

Love it love it love it.

Love this illustration by Mike Dutton. It makes me think of childhood, and growing up, and a longing for the past. I would like to be that unknown girl wandering on that windy landscape.

It is also a tribute to Charles Schutlz. Do you see the reference?

Carol Marine paints a painting every day. That in itself is impressive, but check out her work. I especially like her egg still lifes.

Joe Sorren used to be one of my favorite artists, years and years ago. I rediscovered him today, and my admiration increased. Exponentially. My goodness, look at those colours.

Also, he has this neat thing on his website where you can zoom in super close to his paintings.

Last month I was in a gallery in La Conner, Washington and came across the work of Rie Muñoz. I fell in love with her playful illustrative watercolours. I think I spent about an hour in this tiny gallery, browsing through hundreds of prints. Alas I couldn’t afford to buy any of my favourites, and it’s hard to find good quality images of her work online. Here’s one that I really liked.

Check out some of her limited editions here.

There are so many pretty awesome illustrations to be found in the portfolio of Frédérique Bertrand. I had a hard time deciding which one to post.

If you haven’t heard of Scott Campbell… well, now you have. He’s the genius behind Great Showdowns, an epic series of illustrated movie showdown scenes.

the painting here is called “Distractions”

And I looove it! What a happy breakfast!
