A friend of mine sent me a link to Tom Whalen’s deviantART page yesterday, and I was an immediate fan. His sense of color and contrast is incredibly inspiring, and his work has a sense of both elegance and whimsy. They’re created in a way that almost makes them seem as if they’re moving. Mr. Whalen is one of those artists that humbles me when I see just how much work he has put out – and how good it all is. What you...

These illustrations by artist and illustrator Gabriel Moreno are absolutely spectacular. There is a confined-chaos about them with all of the wild details contained within the stenciled figures. You really get a sense of movement. They sort of leave me (relatively) speechless. [via...

These paintings look like photos – not just from a distance, either. Incredible talent. It’s important to remember the Da Vincis and Michelangelos, but let’s not forget that there are a lot of phenomenal...

Graphic designer and artist Florian Nicolle created these awesome collage / illustration / watercolor works. The textures in these paintings are too much – but in a good way. Instead of muddling the works, the textures actually enhance them, giving them a sense of depth and in some cases desperation. These masterful pieces are great examples of how to be heavy-handed with layers of color and content in a way that adds to an image...
