Sam Pratt is a 24 year-old New York-based artist who graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2010 with a BFA in illustration. He immediately began work as Gawker Media’s first-ever staffed illustrator where, over the course of 9 months, he created hundreds of on-demand illustrations and editorial packages that brought art to the world of tech-journalism and the media giant. Since then, celebrities and corporations from every corner of the world now come to Sam for their every creative need. The versatility of his work isn’t just evident in his portfolio, but also through his clients with magazine covers for Game Informer, editorial illustrations for MSNBC, promotional and advertising imagery for Rovio and the Angry Birds franchise, conceptual art for the game industry, merchandise for Warner Bros., cover art and branding for the music industry with labels and artists like EMI and Miike Snow, as well as personally commissioned artwork and covers for Actor/Comedian/Musician, Donald Glover (Childish Gambino), private portraiture for Fortune 500 CEOs, medical illustrations for The American Association of Cancer Research, illustrations for some of the world’s most renowned photographers—even including a 55 foot long painting on a tour bus, with book covers, websites, logos, and so much more in between.

The work of Paris based Ludo, often called Nature’s Revenge, connects the world of plants and animals with our technological universe and “quest for modernism”. It speaks about what surrounds us, what affects us and tries to highlight some kind of humility.Drawn with the precision of botanical illustrations, Ludo’s new order of hybrid organisms is both elegant and fierce. Armoured vehicles spawn stag beetle horns; carnivorous plants bare rows of hunting-knife teeth; bees hover, hidden behind gas masks and goggles; automatic weapons crown the head of sunflowers; human skulls cluster together like grapes.Ludo’s work aspires to jolt us out of a longstanding collective denial: despite repeated natural disasters, we refuse to acknowledge our own fragile state. Humanity’s reign on this planet is a dangerous and fleeting illusion.

Allow me to introduce you to the outstanding work of Giuseppe Velardo. I am enjoying his work a lot.

Shaka focuses on portraiture and figures in movement to reveal the emotional workings behind the façade of everyday human interactions. His figures twist and turn in an energetic color palette, the movement of their bodies representing the struggle for individuality in social power politics. Heightening the internal conflicts of each figure, the paintings feature bas-relief details that pop out from the two-dimensional plane, underscoring the sense of escape and emancipation.

” I mainly draw realism with traditional media, particularly charcoal. Charcoal is absolutely amazing, and it’s definitely going to be my favourite for the rest of my life. ” – Daisy (deviantart username: 77Daisy77) from Australia

Anatomy of popular Disney characters by Alessandro Conti, illustrator and digital artist based in Italy.

Roberta Coni was born in Rome (Italy) in 1976, where she lives and works. She uses oil paint, sometimes mixed with other media. While you can easily point the Italian or even European heritage, whether in the choice of her subjects or by the way she masters chiaroscuro in her paintings, her work definitely has a unique and very personal feeling.
