Alphonse Mucha

I usually post about current artists but I couldn't pass this up. While doing some research today for work I came across Alphonse Mucha. Inextricably linked to the evolution of the Art Nouveau movement his work is so beautiful. I can see his style as a heavy influence on many illustrators today, and for good reason.

Tiffany Bozic creates images drawn from the natural world but layers her own inner worlds wit it. The flora and fauna look almost from an Audubon book yet there is a slightly off aspect that gives the work a little edge. Check out her great style here.

Artist/Illustrator/Musician is the header for Aaron Jasinski's website. He is all three in spades and his site design is spotless. Listen to his music as your browse his artwork, its guaranteed to put you in a good mood. I am a fan of the Remembered Fables tracks. Artist/ Musicians are always great to find it really makes for a full package. See a previous slash artist here in Tycho.

Audrey Kawaski's paintings on wood painting are wonderful and beautiful. Taking inspiration from manga comics gives them an "innocent yet erotic" feel, quite the contradiction. The smooth graphic style overlayed on wood grain is sexy for sure.

Also check out the large flickr group Moleskinerie.

Stina Persson produces wonderful watercolors with a sharp stencil look to them. The colors are bold and bleed together and contrast with the hard edge lines. She also has some nice work painting on top of photographs and cut paper collages. I was lucky to come across this artist on the great site ffffound. Be careful you can easily kill an afternoon looking at images on there.

Sometimes you find the perfect music to fit your mood. Tycho is the sound from Scott Hansen, a San Francisco based artist. Described as sonic landscapes his music fits perfectly with his graphic artwork as well. His posters have a great retro feel to them and I may have to order one soon.
