my love for you is a stampede of horses.

New Work: Alex McLeod.

Alex Mcleod has a few solo shows coming up, and he sent over a bunch of new work to share with us. Alex's work always blows my mind inside out! The digital worlds he creates are unlike anything I have ever seen. This latest group of work is moving in a sharper direction, although Alex is still utilizing his chubby little clouds. Alex's first solo show opens August 26th at Angell Gallery in Toronto and the second September 3rd at Anno Domini in San Jose.

Yuling Deng.

I don't normally post about digital work, for no other reason than I just don't see work that personally moves me. No other reason. Last week I stumbled on Yuling Deng's piece Conceptual Portrait of Marie Antoinette (above) and just fell for it. I stood and stared for probably a little longer than I needed too. Ha! I scribbled her name down and googled her when I got home. Yuling's use of light and shadows is super and intense. It brings me to another land instantly. Deng works in all different mediums, including 2d animation, web design and plain old analogue oil. The girl is talented. She'll be showing soon, check out her blog to keep tabs on her.

James Joyce.

James Joyce's crisp, straight forward images make me really happy. One thing I always look for in art is a wit that comes over loud and clear, but done in a clever way. You feel me? P.s. I emailed James to use his work, but no response...So I took liberties. I think it's cool though. If not this post will self-destruct in 3, 2, 1...

Joe Van Wetering.

I just bought this t-shirt at Threadless, designed by Joe Van Wetering. I'm pretty selective on my t-shirt consumption, if I bought every rad t-shirt out there I'd be broke as a joke. But I had to make an exception for this one. Joe's work bursts of color and juicy shapes, my favorite. It's the kind of color that makes me salivate and want to pop the images straight into my mouth.

Joe would like to bring you into the fold of his proverbial creative playground. He's posted the below mega-long ribbon on his flickr page with a link for you to download. Do what ever you want with it! Just get creative and hit him back with it. Check out his flickr page and take him up on his offer.

New work: Alex McLeod.

Alex Mcleod just hollered about his show with Michael de Feo at Angell Gallery opening on the 8th. His work is so killer, I can't even wrap my mind around it. Alex creates his work through generated 3-d software, which he describes as his virtual installations. I find myself wishing it was real so I could go and hang out there all day.
