As 2011 ends and we begin 2012, I want to reflect on the most read post of the last year. Here is a collection of the 20 most read posts written in 2011.

Devon Tsuno does some fantastic layered stencil work.

It has been a year since I first featured Marco Zamora and I wanted to check back in to see what he has been up to. Zamora creates large scale drawings, primarily with watercolor and ink.

Here are some fantastic paintings by Kurt Lighter.

Nikolai Lockertsen is a digital artist creating fantastic artwork with his computer and iPad.  The images below were drawn/painted with his iPad using various applications

I actually discovered Alex Kanevsky through a comment on last week’s post on Joshua Bronaugh. The commenter was noting the similarities between Bronaugh and Kanevsky.

Joshua Bronaugh paints gestural, figurative pieces that are rich with color, texture and painterly movement.

The artwork of Alexa Meade is certainly much more than my title suggests and lives somewhere between photography, painting and performance. These illusionistic installations require tedious attention to detail to pull off such a wonderful visual effect.

It was about this time last year when I first featured Janet Lage’s artwork.  Her Hose Me series is now on exhibit at Brown University until September 30th.
