Julianna Brion lives and works as an illustrator in Baltimore, MD. All of her work is excellent but I particularly love this self-portrait entitled “The Illustrator” - I can certainly relate.

‘The Other Ends’ is a show of new drawings by Winnie Truong. In this series, she continues her ongoing relationship with hair beyond aesthetic and beauty, exploring the tensions between surface identity and what stays hidden. The show opened in New York on April 4th, at Mulherin + Pollard.  Found via BOOOOOOOM!

John Pusateri’s drawings of owls (created using pencil, charcoal and pastel) employ rather unusual colours, which I think adds an extra dimension of personality to the portraits.  Found via Juxtapoz.

This hazy portrait is an acrylic painting from the Antimatter series by the Miaz Brothers. The paintings appear to be created on quite a large scale - it would be interesting to see them in real life. Found via bookofjoe.

I think I’m a bit obsessed with defaced portraits. This drawing by Ryan Mrozowski is my current favourite of the genre.

Tim Tadder says that he is “excited to collaborate with creative minds to make unique and powerful images”. His underwater series called “Fish Heads” is certainly unique and powerful, looking at portraits from a different vantage point. Found via Colossal.

I’ve recently enjoyed seeing artwork where photographs are used as the foundation for paintings. Charlotte Caron’s portraits are particularly beautifully executed with a mask-like effect. The artist says that the works “are trying to respond to a form of duality…ultimately creating an osmosis between the two mediums, between the animal and the portrait.” Found via I Need A Guide.

Julian Callos created this absolutely brilliant sculpture of Louis CK for an exhibition (“Is This Thing On? 2: The Weird Year”, opening on March 9th at Gallery 1988 Melrose). Julian says “I wanted to make something that reflected the more surreal qualities of the show “Louie” and the unlucky/unfortunate things that happen to or around Louis CK’s TV persona. So I thought, what’s more unfortunate than dropping your ice cream cone on the ground?” You can read more about the process of creating the piece on Julian’s blog.
