The organised chaos of printing, drawing, cutouts and spray paint makes for wildly energetic and gorgeously expressive imagery from Monika Grubizna, aka Long Muzzle. She is an award-winning print maker and illustrator who relocated to her current base in the US from her native Poland.

Sprays, flicks and splatters of colour abound in Eddie Perrote’s pattern-adorned work. Eddie uses stencilled, drawn and collaged elements plentiful in decoration. We like the unrestricted bundles of motifs and the obvious passion for colour and surface design.

In splatters and dashes, Jennifer Marvillas‘ mixed media pieces capture the vibrancy and spectacle of the bustling, modern metropolis.

A mixture of symbols and expressive sprays of paint are placed in considered layouts to create a wonderful, chaotic balance.

The different talents of French artist, Sebastien Feraut aka Niark1 are as multiple as are the eyes of the weird, wolfish creatures that inhabit his work. His trippy imagery, which manages a sense of darkness despite its beaming colours, fills illustrations and graphics as well as his own large paintings. The strong individual character of his work moves unscathed from his tactile, hand-made mark-rich paintings to crisp edges of his vector-based work.

Here are some examples of Poland-based Adam Quest’s tactile illustrations. He uses scanned-in, mix media surfaces and harsh edges in his work. We caught up with him and asked him to tell us a little about himself and what he does.
