If you grew up in the 80′s and spent time in the school cafeteria sketching typography, logos and stuff you just thought looked “cool”, chances are you were influenced in some way by the cholo/asian calligraphy hybrids that Chaz Bojórquez was pioneering. For a kid growing up on the other side of the country, his work in part epitomized the magical and crazy place that we pictured Southern California to be. He’s got a book out now.

Really nice work from Germany. I don’t know why, but his hand-drawn typography makes me laugh in a good way. There’s also pandas with harmoniums and fire-breathing giraffes if you look closely enough.

Lui Ferreyra evokes Chuck Close, Egon Schiele and a touch of the digital in his figurative and landscape work that he refers to as “fragmentism”. Most of the works are at least 48″ on the short side and must be spectacular to look at in person.

Mike Sinclair has a great portfolio, but his personal work (as above) is truly killer.
