KOZYNDAN

I've known about this design/illustration duo for quite some time, and their work is stupidly good. You really have to click on the above photos to get a larger view of them, but the detail is impeccable. Inspired!

Juan Francisco Casas

I've copped on to this guy's work far too late, I wish someone had told me about his work from day on.
But here it is, he creates colossal hyper-realistic portraits with blue biro. Definitely someone to learn about.

Count In Fives

Horrors

"Homes" illustration by Chris Dent for Alfred Dunhill

Lemon Jelly - The Staunton Lick

Is almost done!

Derren

So it's getting there now, although there's still alot of work to do tonally and concerning the hair e.t.c. I think I've learnt quite a bit from this little painting experience, to start by mapping out the raw colours of the face, and leaving the work a little later till the deadline, so I feel a bit more motivated to actually keep doing it. From the original (that you can't see on this photo) I've used a lot of iridescent paint, in the background and the shin of his collar, but also in the eyes. Roll on April!

The Escapist - The Streets

This would've been a fitting farewell song for The Streets, but it
doesn't matter, Skinner's left a legacy of turning British Garage
music on it's head. He walked across France for this video.
That's a simple example of his devotion to his practice.
I think I need the same approach.
Maybe I'll walk across France...

Klaxons - Ivy Leaves

Klaxons released a one-off e.p on Christmas Day. This is
the third track from that special treat, and it's such an epic
song, just a shame that might of it all doesn't build up to a
crescendo. Drum and bass remix? Yes please.
