Everyone MUST checkout Matt Mahurin!















Matt Mahurin is a master of digital imaging amongst almost every other complementary illustrative vessel. He tricks the viewer by merging photography with realist/surrealist painting. His work is out of this world and must stand alone. The man has done everything. He started his artistic journey as a painter and now he is making music videos. Everyone check out Matt Mahurin.

Craig Frazier:




Craig began his career in the late 70’s and has found success in illustration and graphic design. He owns his own graphic design firm and has set a new standard in the art of advertising and branding. He is a creative guru with his use of wit and metaphor. He has even delved into the realm of animation. Throughout most of his work you will find the same character in a world of filled rich with yellow ochre and calming blues. His shapes are very clean and his compositions are always strong and well thought out.

Steve Guarnaccia:




Steve Guarnaccia:
Steve or Steven like so many illustrators is also considered a designer. His lines are smooth and much of his work has a youthful essence. He is a master at creating characters with the use of simple shapes and vibrant colors. He currently has his own design company in Montclair, NJ, which just happens to be the town that I grew up in.

Peter Kuper:
Kuper illustrates regularly for the NY Times and Newsweek. He also has worked on several books including his most current project titled the Metamorphosis. His work is political and this is fitting due to the fact that he co-founded the political comix magazine World War 3 Illustrated. He currently teaches at Parsons and worked at the School of Visual Arts in the past. He displays a variety of styles. He often creates caricatures for the use of social commentary.
