I am absolutely smitten by the works of Rich Gemmell. The texture and detail on them are so wonderfully thought out, that the overlapping features all seem to meld into one another seamlessly.
I’m especially loving his new series of that are reflections of a journey that he made around Scotland a few months ago.
You can purchase a print of any of his work for £20 just by emailing him directly (via his blog). Who wants to second my request for him to open up a proper shop?


I admire illustrators who can wield a bold brush and who are able to speak their mind about subjects by just using bold, singular strokes. It’s also a great skill, as 2ndComing demonstrates – she’s an artist who doesn’t really like to write a lot about herself (nor talk alot about herself either. See here).
She’s having a sale right now, with free shipping on orders over USD$30. Some of her work are on the risque side, so hop on over to her shop to see more.
