Pete Fowler: Bubblegum Psychedelic
(08 February 2008) - Pete Fowler's world is full of noisy guitars, big hair and cute monsters, all seen through very brightly-colored lenses. We've mentioned the cult graphic artist's work before with toys such as Action Man and his Be@rbrick, but his idiosyncratic style comes through to no better effect than in the new exhibition of paintings that opens today in London at the Stolen Space gallery. The...

Imogen Slater
(31 January 2008) - Says U.K.-based illustrator Imogen Slater on her work: "My first published illustration was a streaky black tree in felt tip, aged 11; that printed page, or the £5 book voucher prize, convinced me I could do nothing else. I had to forgo art college though to study at Cambridge—no Fine Art course there—and then onto Italy, to cling onto any skills in coffee, leaning...

Bindi Booth
(28 January 2008) - We recently came across the work of Australian illustrator Bindi Booth, whose work is rich in color, detailed enough to keep you engaged, but simple enough to be appreciated at first glance. Of her illustrations she says, "I have been drawing ever since I can remember, and it's always been about girls and fashion. I get a lot of inspiration from the fashion industry...

Ian Stevenson
(24 January 2008) - London-based illustrator Ian Stevenson claims that he's got "ideas crammed into his head like toys in a popular middle-class boy's bedroom." I don't suggest you try to get though the wordy biography on his website, but I do encourage you to take a look at the work and watch the documentary. Stevenson uses humor in his naive linework to create an eco-statement. If that's...

Mike Perry
(17 January 2008) - One of the hardest working typographers we know, Mike Perry is currently working on his second book. Check out the Brooklyn-based designer's first book, "Hand Job: A Catalog of Type," which is a great collection of hand-drawn type out out by Princeton Architectural press.

Steven Wilson
(20 December 2007) - 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....

Onesidezero
(18 December 2007) - Onesidezero is a designer and illustrator from Leicester, U.K. Of his work he says: "I love to include flowing vibrant colors, bold images and strange creatures in my work, I usually sketch my initial concepts whilst listening to music, which helps me think.

Jacqui Oakley
(14 December 2007) - There's a wonderful rigidness about the work of Canadian illustrator Jacqui Oakley. Everything seems in the right place, with the perfect amount of color and texture. (Click image for detail.)We asked her whether she had an instinctive sense of when to let an illustration go. I try to find a balance between having the piece still seem spontaneous and loose in areas, and very...

Matthew Woodson
(06 December 2007) - 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...

André Rösler
(05 December 2007) - The extraordinary creatures created by the hand of André Rösler can be sweet, scary and beautiful—often all at the same time. This German illustrative artist, who forms one quarter of the group behind the Bastard Project, has a broad range of work including book illustrations, paintings and animation. But the work we love best are the large murals that he launches onto walls with...

Six Letter Word: Bloody Vans
(14 November 2007) - 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...

Interview with Alex Trochut
