Cool Hunting
I'd been trying to figure out who the illustrator was who had done a few of the beautiful pieces for this year's Kiehl's holiday display for awhile when I was serendipitously pointed toward a certain rep's website to check out some of their illustrators. I discovered it was Justin Gabbard. Score!
Since finally coming upon Gabbard's site, I've been back more than a few times to ogle his colorful, chiseled paintings, as well as his fantastic assortment of drawings and experiments. What I find most wonderful is the way in which Gabbard appears to continually tweak his techniques, painting one time, trying it digitally the next, throwing in a little of this and a little of that from one project to the next. Next time I'm out and about in the city and manage to happily stumble across Gabbard's work, I won't have the least bit of trouble placing it.

If you're a sucker for good strong figurative work with a flair for the unexpected, you'll like the work of New York illustrator, Michael Camarra for sure. I've known Camarra since our days back at Pratt, when he still painted with a brush and a tube of paint. Now that Camarra has moved on up into the realm of digital painting, I'm amazed at how,...
We asked New York illustrator Christopher Neal about the inspirations behind his work. Each job is different. Sometimes looking through old books and artist monographs will spark something. Other times, its just putting pen to paper until I get an idea. Things like music videos, movies and trips to the museum all seep in and resurface later in my work. For my personal work,...
Doug Cowan is an artist's artist in the purist sense: an illustrator who truly loves his sketchbook. That said, the New York-based artist' work is clearly permeated by an overarching sketchbook aesthetic. Cowan doesn't so much sketch in his book than thoroughly loses himself in it. The result being the most hauntingly beautiful drawings of nature, forlorn figures and everyday ephemera....
We love the work of New York-based Japanese illustrator Yuko Shimizu—the sense of drama her work conveys and the apparent color clashes that somehow gel despite pre-existing rules about their compatibility. What have you been up to of late?I just came back from a week in Georgian Bay in Canada. No internet, no cell phone reception for a week. It was fantastic! Now I...
Finding inspiration from childhood doodles, artist and furniture scion Loren Kreiss is moving his solo show, "Say Hello to My Little Friends," from his Tribeca apartment to NYC's Fuller Building. Kreiss brings the quirky creatures to life using a combination of sketches, hand painting and silk screen printing, each name alluding to pop culture and playful minion-making. A philanthropist and businessman, Kreiss' personal artistic...
Meticulous and relentless, Edgartista's four year project, "The New Millennium," began with a sketch on his daily train commute from Brooklyn to Manhattan. Inspired by the urban landscape, the upshot is a large-scale futuristic drawing that incorporates major landmarks from cities around the world, signifying unification among everyone to create this new life for the future. Edgartista, whose full name is Edgar Gonzales, moved...
