Joe Sorren, an old favorite of mine, paints and sculpts dramatic characters and scenes. If you happen to be near the Los Angeles area, you may be able to catch Joe Sorren’s opening this weekend, Saturday, November 6.

Trent Call is a talented artist creating paintings, drawings, illustrations, comics, murals and more. Apparently he stays pretty busy and his website is full of great work.  Trent’s artwork is rich with movement, color and pattern in a range of dynamic styles.

I am a huge fan of Shaun Barber’s artwork and have featured him in the past, for a tattooed portrait painting and a portrait painting of President Barack Obama. I regularly glance back at his website to watch his collection of Tattooed Portraits grow.

Ekundayo is a painter originally from Honolulu, Hawaii and his painting are rich with color, texture and movement; each telling a unique story.

When I posted Drawing on the iPad, a Brushes & Sketchbook Pro Walkthrough it was 2 weeks after the Apple iPad launch and drawings from digital artists were scarce.  Now, 6 months from release, Apple’s iPad is proving to be a great tool for digital artist’s.

Janet Lage’s paintings are full of energy, color, texture and line.  These paintings are traditional in the sense of media used, but they have a gritty, graffiti art feel about them.

Bridget Fahy paints ambiguous figures in scenes filled with texture and patterns like a quilted blanket.

Ann Marshall’s work combines realistic painting with patterned and textured collage elements.  I especially enjoy the direction of her newer portraits, where the collage elements have lots of texture and color.

Jeroen Koolhaas and Dre Urhahn, working under the artist title of Haas & Hahn, transform environments into large scale works of art.
