Coro 36


I spent over an hour on this guy's website just now. I was entranced. A huge library of work that justifiably needed poring over. Justin "Coro" Kaufman is a Fine Artist by love and a Concept Artist by trade. What I have selected for you is only from his illustrative and work with oil paint. There is so much more to look at like his amazing graphic design work and his 3d lighting projects for space-age metropolises.


Coro has contributed to over 70 AAA and next-gen video game titles and works as the Senior 2nd Art Director for Massive Black Inc. He is also one of the co-founders of ConceptArt.Org which is a good resource for talented artists coming up in the conceptual scene.


His work spans from the firm favourite of mine; Fantasy Mecha towards storyboarding for animations/video-games and aliens pestering bums trying to get a good hit of their crack pipes! Like I said, he covers everything!





Overall, an excellent blend of fantasy, realism, the macabre, technology and brilliance. He has just earned himself an avid fan from now on.......

Please visit his SITE, you won't be disappointed.

Ajee's SkullSkin Prototype


Saw this beauty of a 12" prototype on Plastic & Plush and really really dug it. It's made by Bonustoyz and French artist Ajee collaborating on the SkullSkin figure. Like P&P said, the angular aesthetic of the helmet, hair & armour makes the figure really stand out from your run-of-the-mill 12" figures.

Everyday Objects Into Art


It's good to see people getting more creative with potential rubbish/junk lying about their houses. Here are a collection of some of the most original and bizarre ways to make use of the objects that you may have given up hope with.

Adam Parker-Smith


Priska C. Juschka Fine Art gallery is holding an unusual show. "Bold as Love" is Adam Parker Smith’s first solo exhibition in New York City. "Created as an illustrative tableau to disseminate Smith’s ongoing explorations involving consumerist addiction to violence and the infatuation with the high school crush, Bold as Love combines craftwork and portraiture in order to present the aftermath of an imagined scene inspired by Ernest Hemingway’s For Whom The Bell Tolls."


An extremely interesting take on the use of plush materials taken away from its usual link to cuteness and put to better use in my opinion.

721 Claps a Minute



Kent French is a nutter who holds a Guinness Record. He can clap at a rate of 12-14 claps per second! How do you find out these kinds of skills?

Sat One


Sat One originally comes from Munich and has been painting since 1993. He was quoted as saying, "It's very important to keep repetition to the minimum, to make given forms abstract and to redefine them within a new frame." - Taken from the book Graffiti World.


I personally love his style as the blend between traditional graff forms and his version of a graphic design edge are very well done. He has a huge range of work, from the streets to canvases, this guy has such a clean style, it's untouchable.
