I’ve featured graphite drawings once this week (see Josephin Ritschel), so how about some more? Jonas Löfgren is a Swedish artist who uses the medium to craft images that are somber, surreal, and overall haunting. The delicate works give us a…
Melissa Chaib’s work first appeared to me as a submission on the Brown Paper Bag Tumblr, and I’m so glad it did. The illustrator’s colorful images are illustrated products, including cards, prints, and soon-to-be notebooks. If you visit her shop,…
Ed J. Brown seems like a fun guy based on the bio on his “About” page, proving that you should never underestimate the power of a well-written blurb about yourself. Its tone is an easy way to give the viewer…
