artists i'm digging

Craig Atkinson is an artist working in the UK and also the shop owner of Cafe Royal Press--a great line of t-shirts, zines, and other great things. His website showcases some of his work, as well as his sketchbooks--both as images and videos.




I love the combination of found images, collage, and drawing. His sketchbooks have a very lived in look. You can tell he is constantly recording his surroundings in a unique way.

Joe Baglow is another UK artist I really enjoy. Much of his work is in book form and full of strange juxtapositions and quirky illustrations.



Although his website appears to be in Danish (I'm guessing), Gitte Bach's drawings speak for themselves. I love how fresh his simple graphite drawings are. I often use drawing as a means to an end, but this makes me reconsider.



Camilla Engman has been one of my favorite artists for awhile now. She has great paper collages as well as wonderfully layered paintings. Recently, she paired up with artist Elisabeth Dunker to create Studio Violet, a wonderful collaboration between the two.





More of my own work soon.
