Jules Arthur – Hypnotic Splendor February 26, 2007

 
Sisters
I can tell how much I like an artist, by the amount of time I spend on their site, in Jules’s case too long, besides his work the site itself is fierce, a beautiful platform to showcase his work, I love elegant design.
His work is hypnotic splendor, his subjects draw you in with their eyes reading your soul and telling [...]

Stephen Wiltshire – Human Camera February 25, 2007

I don’t like going out especially when its cold, I can’t drive to my destination or I am tired, which is very much me everyday, I need to get to the Riverside Gallery in Richmond, London to see works on exhibit by Stephen Wiltshire before it ends on March 11, lets hope the weather warms up [...]

Matt Small – Urban Genius February 17, 2007

Saul
I put my money where my mouth is for a change and bought a  Matt Small piece a screenprint of 19 colours called “Saul” from an edition of 165 prints.
I don’t think I can go wrong with this investment, I just need him to get a rock’n’roll lifestyle or date Tracey Emin, so I can watch my investment [...]

Saul Zanolari – The Wizard February 13, 2007

Marc 2006
Should I be scared, amused or simply enchanted, I am confused and amazed, I guess that is good? right.
Caricatured images which apparently start off as photographs, even his family do not escape his masterful skill. I can imagine his friends arguing over who he should rework next. I think Ru Paul got off lightly.

Dream Weaver 
Illustrator, graphic artist, painter, Frank Morrison could also be a fashion designer the diva’s in his soul sister collection are well attired, some in ethnic prints and all immaculately coiffured. You can see from his art he has a real appreciation for a black woman’s form and a great sense of humour. 

He started off as a graffiti [...]

Conor Harrington – I Love The Irish February 10, 2007

Of Misfits and Kings 2006
I will own a piece of art by this guy, even if I have to sell my partner to get it (no blood relation).
Fine arts, meets brooding, meets colour and invites graffiti along for the ride.
I find all that Banksy stuff simply put, bullocks, cartoon rats, humph, and to add insult to injury if [...]

Beatriz Milhazes – Flower Power February 8, 2007

Jamaica

Do you ever get that feeling that the world is all good, happy to be alive, I did when I discovered a Beatriz Milhazes painting, okay I’m strange.
Bright kaleidoscopic florals and patterns make her work extremely lovable,  her studio is located next to a botanical garden in Brazil which has heavily influenced her work or maybe [...]
