Kumi Yamashita by Lost At E Minor
If we had a third thumb, we'd give Kumi Yamashita three thumbs up. The Japanese artist creates stunning visual effects with lighting and simple forms, like letters of the alphabet, children's blocks and shoeprints. Yamashita finds the rare balance between beauty and brains.

Mario Mandala Colouring Book

In some religions it serves as an aid in meditation or to establish a sacred space as well. For Japanese artist Mario Tauchi, who illustrated 108 black-and-white versions of Mandalas for Trolley Book's "Mario Mandala." the motif plays a slightly different role....

Sarah Lüdemann
Sarah Lüdemann is a German artist living and working in Cambridge, England. Of her work she says: "the connection point between all my pieces of work is the concept of identity. Initially I started exploring my own 'self' through traditional self portraits.

Geoffrey Todd Smith
Get your wallets out and get in early: Geoffrey Todd Smith is featured in the April 2007 issue of Chicago Magazine as one of Chicago's "rising stars we should be collecting now." His trippy hand-made drawings are inspired by activities of his youth—stickers, jigsaws and doodling. All the designs are begun without a specific idea, which emphasizes a responsive approach to his drawing.See more...

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....
