The Strip: 2 Point Perspective, acrylic on Styrofoam, 2006

I was happy to stumble upon Andy's studio recently and was really excited to see what he was working on. There's a great new body of work (like Adjative's Daughter, Portrait Grouping, and For the Sake of the Song) where he is exploring many different ways of mark making in portraiture. I'm surprised with how well he is able to pull this off. So, enjoy these older works as well and check out his website here.

Studio: Jasmine Justice

Here a few shots of what Jasmine Justice has been up to lately. She has a show in Frankfurt next month...Crash Site opens at AtelierFrankfurt on April 7th. Also check all of my posts on her here and also see her website.

Studio: Saira McLaren

Here are some pics of some really great new, experimental works from McLaren's studio. She's gone through quite a change since her previous body of work, but some of the same imagery pops up. Also see her website here.
