Megan M. Eckman is the artist behind Studio M.M.E. — the initials of which spell out Megan’s full name! Originally from North Dakota, she just moved to sunny San Jose where she illustrates and writes children’s stories as well as run an Etsy shop where she sells prints and originals of her work.

As our sponsor, she’s giving away ONE Feeding the Moon print that’s only available in a limited edition of 100 worth USD$50.00.

Just leave a comment below by the 14th of December to be in the running, or alternatively you can share with us which stories were your favorite as a child!

I’m scrutinizing these beautifully detailed black and white illustrations from Amy Goh, an artist based in Montreal. Her illustrated characters seem to be lifted from creatures in folklores – deep, dark and mysterious. Amy explains the hidden messages behind a few of them over on her blog, and here’s a statement on her collection aptly called Grotesque:

My images are inspired by a drive to articulate a language that can describe the land of sunken cities dreaming, beyond the veil of daytime reality. I derive my imagery from unconscious embarkations to such shadowy shores of dream from which I bring back fragmented narratives that I hope will resonate with daily anxieties and fears. I am obsessed with the notion of memory, identity, and the grotesque nature of the human being interacting with time, the cosmos, and the being ‘within’ the essence of things.

Deep? You betcha.

Supakitch & Koralie are a street artist team from France who have been living and working out of New York City. This video of a recent mural for the Museum of World Culture in Sweden has been making its rounds on the interwebs because (in my opinion) their work and process is freakin’ AWESOME!

Between the careful balance between freeform drawing and planning, the control they each have with numerous mediums and large scale size of this artwork… I’m blown away.

I don’t know what’s more inspiring: the final product or the process.
