An artist with special interests in perspective, shading, and obscure style, Odeith has a mastering technique that makes his murals not only cool to look at, but they’re also in 3-D.

Using art as a tool to shed light where there’s darkness, BK The Artist is a growing master with his complex and creative compositions mixing together space, form and multiple interwoven outlines, delivering images that are not only left to be deciphered by the viewer, but unveil a broader story within the same piece.

Apparent up-and-coming Photographer Elizabeth Gadd is making a splash with her awe-inspiring and scenic based photography, moving her around the world to take some of the coolest photos of her friends you can take.

Daydreaming in her own mischievous but comical world, French artist Amandine Urruty’s busy graphite drawings are filled with strangely humorous characters just hanging out.

Predominately working within the installation art form, Nicole Yeoman’s classic blend of skewed perspective and dope photography make for some crazy cool art pieces.

Based in the UK, graphic designer and artist Chris Labrooy shows a bit of the impossible by twisting and bending pickup trucks into positions that’s something straight out of a Yoga class. Titled “Tales of Auto Elasticity”, Labrooy takes the idea of the custom car to a totally different level in this latest digital illustration series.

Thought to have work that lacks truth, vision, and any artistic integrity at all, Sebastien Millon sure does a good job toying with  these bears, lemurs, and rabbits. With a comedic cluster of instances and one-liner situations, Millon and his critter friends are a fun reminder of how goofy we all look sometimes.

Since 2001, artist and illustrator David Zinn has cruised the streets of Ann Arbor, Michigan, creating these funny yet temporary cartoon characters with nothing but chalk and charcoal. Improvising each piece to its spot and making use of found objects, street fixtures, and stair-steps to create trompe l’oeil illusions, these little monsters are eye-catching.

For this weeks Featured Artist Friday, instead of finding a different artist or a new exhibit from around the world, I decided to look in my own backyard and find an up-and-coming artist to show everyone. So for today, Augustine Tellez is that artist.

Created on the Granville Island near Vancouver, these gigantic pieces are not only some incredible pieces of artwork, but officially their biggest to date. Covering the entire 70-foot tall structure, these things are massive.

Time Slice is an ongoing series of photographs by Richard Silver that explores iconic buildings and monuments and how they change in appearance from day into night. With a combination of 36 photos shot throughout the day and night, Silver then takes all of the layers and puts them together to show the progression of each location.
