Rob Bridges

I’m  really enjoying the aged and elegant look of Rob Bridges work. Great expression and use of colors.

Frank Frazetta 1928-2010

The creator responsible for some of the most iconic images from the worlds of swords-and-sorcery and science-fiction, Frank Frazetta died due to a stroke on Monday. Perhaps best known for his paintings of Conan the Barbarian that adorned the covers of Robert E. Howard’s paperback adventures, the artist contributed both covers and interior art for comics and numerous novels — including the “Creepy” and “Eerie” comics and countless other publications.  For me personally, his cover for the Conan paperback (shown above) was the first of many that lured me into the world of Robert E. Howard’s stories as a teenager in the early 70’s.

Kristin Elder

New Mexico based artist Kristin Elder creates watercolor images of elegant beauty with a twist of magical surrealism that really satisfies. More examples of delicate watercolor work can be found on her blog as well.

Collection A Day

Artist Lisa Congdon has taken upon a project that will span exactly one year, from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010 titled Collection A Day.” On each of those 365 days, she vows to photograph or draw (and occasionally paint) one collection.

Ray-Mel Cornelius

Ray-Mel’s work always offers up a rich serving of color and texture that is immediately and distinctively recognizable. He creates magical landscapes that speak of folk tales and fables, Southwestern wildlife and a special focus on roosters with stunning colors and plumage. Ray-Mel is like the fellow that showed up on the Ed Sullivan show from time to time who would deftly spin several plates on top of sticks. With his focus on illustration, teaching and fine art, he keeps them all spinning smoothly. Be sure to visit his blog as well for recent projects.
