Branislav Nikolic

Serbian artist Branislav Nikolic has a drawing blog that I’ve been following for a while and I have to say that I really admire his sense of space and synthesis on each one of his posts. It’s a tender mix between pictorial and graphic love for the landscape (sometimes outdoor, others domestic) reaching the highest form of simplicity on representation. With only some strokes, Nikolic creates a very particular and personal travel book that is a true delight.

Claudio Parentela

Can’t take away my eyes from Claudio Parentela’s dynamic and risky portfolio. Ever since I received his submission, I’ve been digging his blogs and wacky sites which are packed with eschatological ladies and dark desires. You must have a look as well to an excellent selection of artists that he interviews every week for his blog.

Gojin Ishihara

It's not use to describe this wonderful collection of illustrations made by Gojin Ishihara in the 70's, compiled by PinkTentacle. So many things in this world make me that happy.

Tyler Bright Hilton

I met the Canadian artist Tyler Bright Hilton last summer in an Internetless town of Croatia. We'd lots of time for chat and share ideas about practically any subject. Was that and the fact is a NAMBLA member -just discovered on his Bio today- that can explain my fascination for his wonderful drawings. I want to thank him for let me publish his whole Minmei Madelynne Pryor Went Into the Dryer series for MIRE readers. I'm looking forward to see the second part!

Chapter 1:
In which Minmei distractedly reads how many scoops of detergent will be required for her load while mourning the absence of her missing sock, lost to the mysteries of the dryer.

Sylvie Kořánková

I discovered Sylvie Kořánková's breath-taking art last summer in Prague, when she presented her diploma project I don't have to like you, I just have to sell you. The book is a compilation of odd images about fashion world, where she presents delicate and innocent lines with a clever use of the space for enclose her characters.

Agnieszka Piksa

I was very happy to receive a submission from Agnieszka Piksa (aka Pixa) this morning. I know her work from long time ago and I always get a feeling of great and unavoidable sadness after see her drawings. The apparent simplicity in her compositions echoes Russian Constructivism for the complex use of the negative spaces and spatial relationships, where nothingness becomes everything.

Jonas Törnkvist

Jonas Törnkvist art work showed me that life was a mockery. In his paintings, there’s an uncertain truth that uses sarcasm as a punch in the face.

Agata Janicka

Agata Janicka (1984) is the curious artist type. Her big blue eyes are always open and however she receives as many influences as she can, she will filter all this information with a surprising ability of synthesis. Her images have some innocent and bizarre touch at the same time.
