This artist's work is currently at Emerge Gallery in Greenville (where I'm teaching this week). There isnt much on the website but I'll check the titles of my favorites tomorrow and add them in case you want to google.

Katie Sokoler street artist

http://www.babelgum.com/html/clip.php?clipId=3020170

"Katie Sokoler AKA Color Me Katie is a specialist at working with strangers. Inspired by a college project in which the then shy Katie was forced to photograph 100 strangers in 5 hours, she has since eschewed using models to stage shoots, preferring instead to promote human interaction through her work and capture the results of humans in their natural habitat....when mixed with fantasy or fun. In both her recent projects, the Brooklyn Thought Bubble Project and the Shadow Project, Katie stages creative traps and lies in wait to capture special moments on camera. We follow her through her process and ask why she makes interaction her art."

Josh Cochran, illustrator

There's a lot of talented artists and designers living in Brooklyn, NY and Josh Cochran is one of my favorites. He has a vintage style with a modern hip twist.

Annie, I think you'll like this one.

KAREN CALDICOTT (illustrator)

This lady found a sweet market for doing what she loves. You know how some magazines have drawings or photos of their contributors and/or subjects? Well, Karen Caldicott, to my knowledge, is the sole magazine illustrator (for big titles like Rollingstone and New York Magazine) who sculpts said celebrity portraits. Wow!

KEVIN KALLAUGHER (political cartoonist)

Kevin Kallaugher, editorial cartoonist for the The Economist magazine.

New York Sketches

This guy is ambitious. Wants to draw every person in NY. However, he tends not to stray too far from the Taco Bell crowd.

Fun idea though. And not a bad habit to form: carry a little sketch book with you always, and do some sketches/caricatures of the peeps you see. (Also advocated by political cartoonist for the Economist Kevin Kallaugher.)

Photography

I found this artist encouraging to the work I want to do with photography if I continue with my balloonish- make believe scenarios.

Welcome!

To keep it short:

Feel free to post links to any artist's website (go ahead - self promotion's okay) with some helpful keywords specifying medium (i.e. "INTAGLIO," "MIXED MEDIA") and any other information viewers might find helpful and/or interesting.

If an artist doesn't have his/her own website (i.e. Albrecht Durer), you can leave a link to some collection of their work (Durer at the Library of Congress).

Be sure to include labels (to help with search results) and have fun browsing. Thanks for reading and helping out!
