Six Letter Word: Bloody Vans by Lost At E Minor
It's hard not to sigh at another vector face or skull and diamond combo. I'm guilty of skull overindulgence myself. But Six Letter Word (aka illustrator, Diogo Potes) balances skulls with other macabre themes to create art that actually looks fresh and interesting. His use of random fragmented shapes and delicate lifework add dimension and individuality to topics that could easily be overdone. My favorite piece is his bloody customized Vans, which are pure genius—albeit not particularly wearable.
Ed. note: We know these made the rounds awhile back, but sometimes a good thing bears repeating.

A Paper Tiger
A Paper Tiger is a new venture that launched in January of this year selling exclusive prints by some favorite artists such as Jack Long (pictured). Usually so-called printmaking and distributor sites are unimpressive, but these guys really seem to know what they're doing. With artists like Ken Garduno, Haubs, Tesslar Lo, Jeana Song and many more, A Paper Tiger is releasing extremely limited...

Sanna Annukka
I first locked eyes on Sanna Annukka's beautiful designs when British band Keane commissioned her to create the artwork for their second album Under The Iron Sea. Her silkscreen creations are a cool blend of her Finnish heritage (most notably, the epic poem The Kalevala), as well as the art of the Far East....

Steven Wilson
Steven Wilson just did the latest cover for The Fader magazine which really caught our eye. Fader's art director (and occasional Lost At E Minor contributor) Phil Bicker led us to Wilson's website. We're really impressed with how prolific he is and how he's created his own style that looks a bit '70s mixed with right now....

Matthew Woodson
Matthew Woodson's illustration style doesn't exactly break new ground, but it's his rotoscoping-like technique we like most. Overriding themes include half-nude woman, tattoos, skeletons, violence and mystery, all of which we like and seek out. Check out more of his work on his website, ghostco, blog, with hands and hair (and eyes and bones and knees). You can also see his work in some...
