matthew porter: the amazing pow kid
after seeing an amazing monkey-as-percy-dovetonsils portrait, i perused the vast repertoire of this kid. lord, lord. birds! robots! wrestlers! freaks! charts! thanks to the delicious zoomar. percy dovetonsils? shame on you for not knowing.

denise burge: my original dirt
i think i found her site after seeing a pic on flickr. love her bio and her quilts are crazy! crazy quilts!

marian bantjes: “i love being honest, and nice and polite and caring and kind.”
she’s an illustrator and designer who uses calligraphic and typographic elements in her art (yipes, i brewed up a mouthful.) her work is delicate, lovely, poised, mysterious. it makes me yearn to go back to design school (in the pre-computer age) and really pay attention in typography class.

eric joyner: robots! robots! robots!
reading eric’s bio, i realize we were at the academy of art at the same time — it wasn’t the insane mega-franchise that it is now. hey eric, remember the little punkette, asleep in the back of typography class? that was meeee!

sam javanrouh: daily dose of imagery
i subscribe to the rss feed for sam’s lovely photos and it’s just a canadian delight every morning. i love canadians.. there are more than one on this list!

souther salazar: welcome to the treehouse
crafty art. dioramas, cutouts, mini-installations.. magical. reading her website i realized she had a table at the bizarre bazaar last year, the one I went to. waaah! i wish i knew that, but it was a madhouse and i spent one million dollars anyhows.
