Samm Blake (present)

Samm Blake is an amazing wedding photographer. I was drawn to his work because of the beautiful and ethereal atmosphere he creates through his editing. He has a unique way of capturing his subjects with a lot of emotion, which was another aspect that I really loved about Blake's work.

Dain (present)

Dain is a Brooklyn-based graffiti artist, who mixes street art references with graffiti and drawing. He takes the photos of "classical beauties" and modernizes them by adding an urban twist. Dain starts with a black and white photo, then he makes it into a type of collage. His first solo exhibition, titled "Born Again," was at the Lenenson Gallery in Paris.

Peter Callesen (1967-present)

Peter Callesen, born in 1967 in Denmark, is a renowned paper sculptor. Callesen has the unique ability to create small sculptures using one sheet of paper (as shown above). He also does much larger works, some paper sculptures being of impressive size. Callesen attended Goldsmiths College, Arhus Art School, and Arhus School of Architecture. His work has been exhibited all over Denmark and London.

Raquel Aparicio (present)

Raquel Aparicio, born in Avila, is an illustrator for magazines, books, as well as advertising. Aparicio spent several years in Edinburgh before moving back to Spain to study illustration. She attended the Illustration Academy in Florida for one year. Aparicio's work can be seen in The New York Times, Elle, and Nylon.

Benjamin Tour (present)

Benjamin Tour, a Vancouver-based painter and illustrator, is most well known for translating human behavior into beautifully crafted portraits. In 1999, he received a degree in illustration at Sheridan College. Tour begins his works of art with a ballpoint pen, sketching out each figure. He then goes back over it with paints, inks, and "spray bombs" to finalize his pieces. Tour's work can be seen all over New York, California, and many other places. He has also won the Western Magazine Award's Illustration of the Year award.

Scott Wade (present)

Scott Wade is an artist who uses dirty cars as his canvas. Ironically enough, though, he cleans the car thoroughly before creating his masterpieces. He then covers the entire window in dirt, then uses a paintbrush to create his "paintings."

William Hundley (present)

William Hundley, born in St. Paul, Minnesota, is a very unique and quirky photographer. He is currently based in Austen, Texas. He has a series titled "Entoptic Phenomena" that is a collection of photographs of different fabrics floating midway in the air. He also has another series of random everyday objects sitting on top of cheeseburgers. I was drawn to Hundley's work because of his quirky yet oddly intriguing photographs.
