Shooting fashion spreads, art directing international marketing campaigns and designing tees, 24 year-old Kiwi Paul Darragh (aka Bemodern or Darragh-G) creates work that fuels inspiration. Leaving his homeland in 2003, Darragh moved to Melbourne, Australia where he was offered the position of Art Director for a publishing house responsible for marketing campaigns across Australasia with the likes of Lee, Wrangler, Mooks, Sass & Bide, K-Swiss, David Jones, Ted Baker and Royal Elastics. Darragh's personal work has featured in the pages of XLR8R, Beautiful Decay, Empty, Kotori, Pulp, Blowback and STU, just to name a few. This August, Darragh will make the leap to New York. With contracts already been thrown his way, this is one artist definitely worth watching. Check out more on his Myspace.

The International Illustrated, a magazine made up of unique original art created around a rather loose central theme, just released their third issue.
