Geoffrey Todd Smith by Lost At E Minor
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.

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...

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. But soon I started investigating the notion of the self-portrait in wider terms to find out where it starts and where it ends...

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....

David Kassan
Brooklyn-based artist David Kassan paints such lifelike portraits, they practically leap off the canvas. From his website: "As an expression of his own calculated observation and visual consumption of surrounding environment, introspective glimpses of reality imbue the art of David Kassan. By immersing himself into his subject matter, Kassan is able to infuse his painting with life and realism." (Click image for detail.)...

Jim Denevan
Santa Cruz, CA-based artist Jim Denevan makes freehand drawings in sand, laboring up to seven hours and walking for as many as 30 miles to create artwork using no measuring aids whatsoever. (Click images for detail.) From above, the drawings are abstract patterns. But when looked at from the ground level, they take on a new form, challenging ideas of distance and perspective. Then,...
