The abundance of hard and heavy sketch lines in Tesura’s illustrations impart an almost technical textbook feel to the work, which is undercut by his skewed proportions and fantastical bent. He has masterful control of emotion and shadowing. Each piece is more impressive than the last. Here are some of my favorites, but don’t be shy, check them all out on flickr.

Drawing on a wrapper, Jancko was able to create hundreds of characters based on the simple three-heart logo of a local restaurant—the doodles are unique, spirited, and plain lovely. Who said nothing good ever came from fast food? Greasy good creativity. Yum.

The image of Christopher Wirrow's dirty, ink-smudged hands capture his style. His characters are heavily-shaded and brooding, yet wide-eyed and playful. They are thick with mood and depth. We're proud to introduce him as May's guest contributor. Look for his first entry on Friday, and in the meantime, here are a few selects of his work.

Art is about outward manifestation and expression, a pouring out on the world stage. But, images like this one capture the intimacy of the act of creating—the mechanics, the setting, the materials, the playlist. Listen to Ulla’s music library while viewing her art and experience the moments behind the work.
