ARTIST THIRTY: Shyama Golden

I stumbled upon Shyama Golden on a graphic design blog and was very impressed with the way she marketed herself. Her business card was quirky and memorable, with an impressively drawn llama on the front and a neon pink backing that made it pop. She also used a letterpress method for the card which made it very professional and neat. Golden's style is much like her personality- eccentric but presentable and clean cut. Her work is created mainly digitally, although she likes to paint as well.

ARTIST TWENTY NINE: Giles Oldershaw

Giles Oldershaw (an artist from England) uses recycled cardboard to recreate famous movie stars. He uses a small amount of paint and a lot of cutting and layering to create these unusual portraits. 

ARTIST TWENTY EIGHT: Riusuke Fukahori

Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori takes 3D art to a new level with his absolutely amazing, lifelike paintings of goldfish in water. He uses layers of resin casting (liquid plastic that hardens) and paints part of the fish on each layer to create a round form

.

ARTIST NUMBER TWENTY SEVEN: Sue Blackwell

Sue Blackwell is a British artist with a love for books. She pioneered a new style of art that she calls "book art", where she transforms the pages of a average book into amazing pieces of art that tell a story too. Sometimes she uses the book as the base of the sculptures and other times she frames them in glass or on other surfaces. She cuts, folds, and twists pages to create stunning and whimsical pieces.

ARTIST NUMBA TWENTY SIX: Gelrev Ongbico

A self taught artist from the Philippines, Ongbico creates illustrations mainly of nature-related subjects using texture and thick strokes of paint. While cleanly outlined, the items in his pieces contain lots of detail and form. He is also known for his descriptive titles, changing the meaning from what you would initially expect into something completely different.

ARTIST NUMBA TWENTY FIVE: Erin Clark

An artist from Michigan, Erin Clark uses landscape scenery and woman's blank faces to create alluring collages. She works on hand-crafted and digital collages, and is currently working on a new art series with fellow artist Andrew Tamlyn. Her work is innovative and inspiring- drawing to the faceless identity that many woman feel in our world today.

ARTIST TWENTY FOUR: Luci Everette

Luci Everette from Melbourne, Australia is a mixed media artist that uses many different mediums to create collages. She collaborates with textures, paper cut-outs, hand drawn illustrations, watercolors, and photographs to make whimsical pieces of art.
