That Street Vibe! Cool Street Art in Portland, OR!

Street Art in Portland, OR.

Last month my girl and I took a mini vacation down in Portland, OR. I absolutely loved the city. It has an Island of Misfit Toys kind of vibe that really makes me feel comfortable there. While devouring my killer maple bacon bar from Voodoo Doughnut, aka Doughnut Heaven, I looked over and there was […]

Love me some Fire! Molotov Art of Russian Artist Radya Timofey!

Working on “Eternal Fire” 3. A series of portraits of heroic WW2 fighters celebrating Russia’s victory over Nazi Germany. Art by Radya Timofey.

Artist Jeremy Fish San Francisco Artist Jeremy Fish may have the most unique blend of urban, storybook and logo design art I’ve ever encountered. It straddles so many different genres, yet fits into none. It is why I find it so fascinating. I’m not going to say much more. I’m just going to post some […]

Dark, Powerful, Visceral: Obi Kaufmann!

queen

The Caveman Art of Obi Kaufmann Obi Kaufmann likes to say he paints by candlelight in a cave. After spending some time with his art, it’s an apt description. His use of line weight is bold and powerful. It creates a strong visual image that is hard to look away from. Just the kind of […]
