This month, as I am knee deep into work for my solo show at Copro Gallery this June, I thought to once again showcase some of my favorite artists. These are artists and works that I find compelling and inspirational. Maybe you’ve heard and seen them before and maybe not but as a rule, any day that starts off with some visual excitement is a good day.

Links to their pages and works are included below with each piece so that you too can follow and enjoy their art too.

Roberto Ferri has such a beauty and grace in his figures they are always compelling.

Ivan Solyaev’s black and white art has a “noise” to it that is pleasing to me. Texturally, like aged etchings…
