Just an Insta-Goodies post today, as I recover from an endoscopy…

The Low Bros, former graffiti writers Qbrk and Nerd, are Christoph and Florin Schmidt. Their visual art and murals are rather like a modern spin on the designs, colors and elements of 80’s and 90’s youth culture.
Much of their work consists of stylized animals, built with interestingly intersecting lines and geometrical shapes. Shading is often accomplished with ombre lines, which create a really cool effect.

I’m starting a new feature here on SWS, which will help me share a greater quantity of amazing art. I was very late to the Instagram party, but I can get completely lost in the art there.
I don’t always have the time or energy to do a full feature post on artists and/or pieces I love…so I’ll be including the Instagram handle on each picture if you wish to explore further. This is also a great way to show current pieces by artists I’ve posted in the past (or preview artists I plan to post about in more depth). I hope you enjoy!

Alison Mortisugu paints gorgeous nature scenes using trees as her canvas.
She takes a fairly mundane (though in my opinion quite magical) object and turns each one into a portal that reflects the majesty of nature back upon itself.

Yohey Horishita painted these enchanting hands as a cover for the entertainment publication Oz Magazine.
Horishita uses oil pastels, ink and digital art (sometimes combinations) to expressive work with a somehow simultaneously vibrant and muted color palette.
We can see the influence of traditional Japanese art, with a modern styling that is ultimately unique.

I recently stumbled upon Brent Estabrook’s vibrant paintings, which range from cohesive, vivid realism, to the abstract and deconstructed.
Estabrook got his Doctorate in Dental Surgery, practiced for one day, and left the field to pursue his need to paint (a gutsy move, but a good one with this kind of talent!). His paintings are able to conjure up the nostalgia of childhood dreams…
…memories of when all was possible and world was magic. We remember the toys, the textures, the stories we crafted around items we held dear.
