Showing just a sampling of the variety of work from Brooklyn based RISD alum Morgan Blair, most of it done in acrylic or gouache.
You know how people are always like "use what you know blah blah blah"? Well, an example of this: on Morgan's site she writes "I grew up on Legos, Tetris, tape dubbing and Magic Eye.
Lesson served.
Mia Christopher is a multi-disciplinary artist in San Francisco. She is currently attending the California College of the Arts for drawing and painting. The theme of community seems to be a constant in her artwork and it is a great reminder for students and professionals: we can't create alone because we need an audience and inspiration from others, we don't learn alone, and we can't build a career by ourselves.
"The theme in my art is the human figure in all his being. I'm searching for the soul of the human being, with all his feelings, thoughts and emotions through my feelings, thoughts and emotions. So, I am also in search of my very own soul."
Belgian painter Kerian Deroo? YES PLEASE! Starting her career as an illustrator and graphic designer, 3 years ago Karien decided to quit that and start painting and we thank her for this bold move.
A spirited, unruly student is preferable. It's much easier to direct passion than to try and inspire it.

I'm posting the work of Cali based artist Alisha Amirkhanian today. I couldn't find out much about Alisha except that she's an artist...and from California. I love the diversity between her paintings, drawings + photography. Where her paintings + drawings show intimate, very realistic moments of life with traditional color palettes, her photography flips her artistic world into a colorful spin of surrealism.
Chris Holloran is a young English artist living and making in Amsterdam. He has loads of really fun paintings, drawings, 'zine's, animations, murals, and so forth and so on via his website. The greatest choice we have available to us as artists is the option to experiment with mediums, because really, if you're not having fun with it why are you doing it?
