Josh Criswell 'Tough Guy' Print Available

Artist: Josh Criswell/Crozz Draws
Title: Tough Guy
Medium: 2 Color Linocut Print
Size: 8 x 10 Inches
Edition: UNSURE
Prices: $30

 

Josh Criswell, who publishes under the studio name Crozz Draws, is an American painter, printmaker and art educator born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Working from a modest studio filled with hip-hop, hardcore and punk-rock playlists, he hand-carves linoleum blocks that explore the paradoxes of life: danger beside growth, violence beside pleasure, mortality beside vibrant colour. Skulls, tigers and anonymous figures recur in his prints, each rendered with obsessive symmetry and a crisp, high-contrast palette that echoes the urgency of gig posters and protest flyers.

His process begins with meticulous sketches that map every contour, ensuring that each knife-cut line will lock into a perfect mirrored balance. Ink is then rolled onto the block and pressed onto delicate 80 gsm paper, producing small editions where subtle variations in pressure become part of the final rhythm. Recent pieces such as Tiger Style and Woman on Phone layer hand-painted gold leaf or neon washes over the initial black pull, adding contemporary shimmer to the raw relief surface.

Criswell has exhibited at Point Five Gallery, Vestige Concept Gallery and Nevin Kelly Gallery in Washington D.C., while online drops through Crozz Draws sell out within minutes. When he is not carving, he teaches printmaking to high-school students, encouraging them to treat the block as a stage where personal fears and communal hopes can perform together. Through every symmetrical skull and blooming rose, he offers a simple reminder: imperfection is part of the dance, and beauty often begins where the blade slips.

Lara Bujanda 'Torch Bearer' Print Available

Artist: Lara Bujanda
Title: Torch Bearer
Medium: 3 Color Screen Print
Size: 50 x 50 cm
Edition: 25
Prices: €40

 

Lara Bujanda is a Spanish illustrator and screen-printer who operates from a Berlin studio under the imprint Subterranean Prints, a one-woman design workshop dedicated to striking gig-poster art. Born in Spain and now aged thirty-nine, she migrated to Germany seeking a fertile, affordable base where she could control every stage of production, from initial sketch to final squeegee pull. Working primarily with hand-cut stencils and layered acrylic ink, she builds dense, high-contrast imagery that fuses the raw immediacy of punk flyers with the refined alignment of Swiss poster tradition. Her palettes tend toward bruised purples, hazard oranges and metallic silvers, colours that leap off matte black paper and echo the thunder of the heavy bands she often represents.

Bujanda’s creative process is deliberately physical. She begins each commission by listening repeatedly to the client’s album, absorbing tempo changes and lyrical themes, then distils those sensations into a single emblematic scene. Sketches are translated into rubylith films, cut with a surgical knife and printed on recycled stock pulled through a manual carousel press. Editions rarely exceed one hundred copies, ensuring every sheet bears subtle variations in ink density and registration that collectors prize as proof of handmade authenticity.

Despite humble beginnings screen-printing demo sleeves for local punk collectives, her reputation has grown through word-of-mouth among metal, hardcore and electronic labels across Europe. Recent commissions include the atmospheric cover for Norwegian progressive outfit In Vain, praised for its “classy, doomy” elegance that mirrors the record’s sonic scope. Interviews reveal an artist comfortable with evolution: she jokes about once living “as punk as possible” but now embraces precision, proof that craft and rebellion can coexist when ink meets paper under the steady hand of Subterranean Prints.

Ima Pico 'Bouba 14' Original Available

Artist: Ima Pico
Title: Bouba 14
Medium: Acrylic Original
Size: 23 x 23 cm
Edition: UNIQUE
Prices: £50

 

Ima Pico is a Spanish born visual artist now based in Manchester, United Kingdom, where she creates vibrant geometric abstractions that pulse with Mediterranean warmth and urban edge. After earning a Fine Arts degree from the Polytechnic University of Valencia, she relocated to England and established Ima Pico Studio, a workspace that doubles as a laboratory for colour, form and digital experimentation. Her practice spans painting, screen print and installation, all united by a fascination with hard edged shapes and bold, saturated hues.

Pico begins each composition with hand cut stencils and vector sketches, translating angular silhouettes into layered arrangements of coral, turquoise, sunflower and emerald. These blocks of colour interlock like abstract architecture, suggesting city skylines, festival bunting or fragments of memory viewed through stained glass. She often works on a small scale first, producing mini canvases and paper editions that invite close inspection, then expands the same visual language into larger wall pieces and immersive environments.

Recent series explore media saturation and sensory overload, using repetition and gradient shifts to echo the endless scroll of digital feeds. Despite the crisp geometry, her process remains intuitive; she sands edges, adds gestural marks and allows under-painting to peek through, ensuring each piece retains a human pulse.

Exhibitions at Artelista and group shows across Valencia and Manchester have sold out, while commissions have brightened co-working spaces and private homes throughout the North West. Whether printing a limited edition or painting a full wall, Pico approaches every surface with the same goal: transform abstract form into pure joy and remind viewers that colour, when arranged with conviction, can feel as alive as any landscape.

Karoline Rerrie 'Pretty Pair' Print Available

Artist: Karoline Rerrie
Title: Pretty Pair
Medium: 3 Color Screen Print
Size: (A4) 21 x 29.7 cm
Edition: 17
Prices: £35

Karoline Rerrie is a Birmingham based illustrator and printmaker who has spent more than a decade transforming folk motifs into vivid screen printed celebrations. Born in the Midlands, she grew up surrounded by local craft fairs and community festivals, an upbringing that instilled a love of pattern, story and shared making. After studying illustration she dedicated herself to hand pulled print processes, building a practice that balances meticulous design with the happy accidents that occur when ink meets mesh.

Her visual language is built on three pillars: bold black outlines, bright flat colour and repeat pattern. She begins each piece with loose pencil sketches of flowers, birds or interlocking shapes, then refines the drawing into separations that can be cut from rubylith or painted directly onto screen. Layers of fluorescent pink, turquoise and sunflower yellow are printed onto recycled papers, creating final images that feel both contemporary and timeless. Recent editions depict ornate songbirds perched among geometric blossoms, their wings echoing the rhythm of traditional Eastern European textiles.

Rerrie sells original prints, greetings cards and zines through local markets and online shops, keeping prices accessible so that original art can travel beyond gallery walls. She also runs popular screen print workshops, guiding newcomers to mix colour, pull squeegees and discover the joy of imperfect registration. Exhibitions at Birmingham Open Studios, Art in the Park Leamington and the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists have sold out, while commissions have brightened hospital corridors and independent cafés across the city.

Whether teaching, printing or sketching on the train, Rerrie approaches every surface with the same goal: spread colour, share pattern and remind viewers that beauty can be handmade, affordable and full of heart.

Vonn Cummings Sumner 'Reliquary' Print Available

Artist: Vonn Cummings Sumner
Title: Reliquary
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 24 x 30 Inches
Edition: 25
Prices: $500

Vonn Cummings Sumner is a Los Angeles based painter and professor who transforms existential unease into luminous, gently humorous tableaux. Born in 1973, he earned a BFA at UC Davis, where Wayne Thiebaud first showed the class a Krazy Kat strip and declared George Herriman the equal of Goya; that moment sparked a lifelong obsession with the gender-fluid, brick-loving cat who now populates Sumner’s canvases.

Working in oil on panel, he layers translucent glazes over soft monochrome grounds, creating depth that feels both old master solemn and Sunday paper light. His palette shifts from desert ochres to pool water cyans, echoing the sudden time of day changes that define Herriman’s original strips. Figures are rendered with delicate modeling yet placed in absurd scenarios: Krazy wanders a forest at dusk, dons a haz-mat suit to queue outside a supermarket, or stares at a dumpster fire while clutching a single red brick. These vignettes serve as stand ins for contemporary anxieties pandemic protocols, consumer absurdity, ecological dread yet they maintain the strip’s tender optimism.

Sumner insists the paintings are not nostalgia but sideways self-portraiture; by approaching issues obliquely through an “empathetic effigy,” he avoids didactic cliché and invites viewers to laugh, wince and recognise their own bewilderment. Recent exhibitions such as Second Nature at Morton Fine Art pair Krazy with floating dollar bills, toilet-paper still lifes and protective-tape barriers, turning gallery walls into a gently surreal mirror of our collective moment. Whether teaching at Fullerton College or painting into the night, Sumner keeps the anarchic spirit of Krazy alive, proving that a century old sprite can still help us process the ever shifting world outside the window.

Mishfit 'You Can't Take It With You' Print Available

Artist: Mishfit
Title: Growth
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: (A3) 29.7 x 42 cm
Edition: 25
Price: £65

Mishfit is the professional alias of British contemporary urban artist Mish Maudsley, who has spent over two decades merging street energy with refined studio craft. Based in Brighton, she paints luminous dreamscapes that treat drifting clouds as mirrors for human emotion, building towering sky stories in oil, acrylic and neon spray that glow like sunrise caught in mid breath. Her process layers premium pigment over gritty aerosol stains, letting thick impasto collide with transparent glazes so raw creativity remains visible beneath polished finish.

Influences range from Old Master chiaroscuro to Japanese ukiyo-e waves and retro sci-fi cinema, all filtered through a feminist lens that places strong, elegant women at the centre of alternate realities. Figures step out of candy coloured cumulus with poise and defiance, their eyes meeting the viewer as if to say transformation is possible anywhere. Themes of empowerment, escapism and shared humanity run through every canvas, inviting audiences to find common ground inside vivid wonderlands.

Mish began her career bombing walls across Europe and Australia, painting gritty alleys and major festivals from Melbourne to Upfest, before moving into gallery spaces without losing the rebellious spirit of her early paste-ups. Commissions have come from Royal Caribbean, TEDx and UK music festivals, yet she still hand finishes limited giclée prints with 24-carat gold leaf, ensuring each piece carries a personal heartbeat.

Whether exhibiting at Saatchi Art, releasing sunset inspired mini originals or live painting cloud murals on a seaside promenade, Mishfit offers a simple promise: look up, breathe deep and remember that imagination can turn any sky into a sanctuary of possibility.

Squirl 'Growth' Original Available

Artist: Squirl
Title: Growth
Medium: Framed Acrylic, Aerosol and Oil Pastel on Wood
Size: 62 x 62 cm
Edition: UNIQUE
Price: £300

 

Squirl is the working alias of artist Greg Stobbs, a British illustrator, muralist and street artist based in Canterbury. Born into an illustration dynasty his parents are the celebrated children’s book illustrators Joanna and William Stobbs he grew up surrounded by pens, paper and the smell of gouache, an environment that taught him to treat every surface as a potential story.

Stobbs began his creative life scaling walls and painting under the name Squirl, a nod to his habit of darting around urban sites like the nimble creature itself. His street pieces combine bold, black aerosol outlines with flat, candy-coloured fills, often depicting wide-eyed characters, swirling typography and playful nods to skate culture. Working without stencils, he lets drips and overspray remain, believing these raw marks record the energy of the moment and the sound of the city.

Inside the studio he shifts focus to illustration, creating magical picture-book worlds that bridge fine art and narrative design. Using ink, watercolour and digital layering, he crafts spreads where towering trees wear sneakers and small children ride comets across starlit skies. Recent titles include Don’t Ask the Dragon (Canongate, 2022) and What the Crow Saw Below (Oxford University Press, 2024), both praised for their warm palette and lyrical sense of wonder.

Whether painting a cathedral cloister in York, a post-apocalyptic skate park in Sweden, or a humble book page, Stobbs approaches each surface with the same goal: spark curiosity, spread colour and remind viewers that stories can blossom anywhere imagination takes root.

__________________

Brian Donnelly, known professionally as KAWS, is an American artist and designer born in 1974 in Jersey City, New Jersey. He studied illustration at the School of Visual Arts in New York and began his career as a graffiti artist in the early 1990s, tagging walls, billboards, and bus shelters with his now-iconic four-letter moniker. The name “KAWS” has no specific meaning Donnelly chose it simply because he liked the way the letters looked together and how they functioned visually in graffiti compositions.

His early work involved “subvertising,” where he would alter existing advertisements by adding cartoon-like figures, often with his signature crossed-out eyes. This approach quickly gained attention and helped him build a following outside the traditional art world. KAWS later transitioned into fine art, producing paintings, sculptures, and prints that reimagine familiar pop culture characters such as Mickey Mouse, The Simpsons, and SpongeBob SquarePants, infusing them with a sense of melancholy, detachment, and subversion.

KAWS is perhaps best known for his Companion series large-scale sculptures and figures that resemble Mickey Mouse with gloved hands covering the face and Xs for eyes. These works explore themes of isolation, consumerism, and the blurred line between innocence and anxiety. His art bridges the gap between high art and commercial culture, often blurring the boundaries between the two. He has collaborated with major brands like Nike, Dior, Uniqlo, and A Bathing Ape, creating clothing, sneakers, and even cereal boxes that feature his distinctive characters.

Despite initial skepticism from the art establishment, KAWS has become one of the most influential and commercially successful artists of his generation. His work has been exhibited in major museums worldwide, including the Brooklyn Museum, the National Gallery of Victoria, and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. In 2019, his painting THE KAWS ALBUM sold at auction for $14.8 million, setting a record for the artist and solidifying his place in the contemporary art market.

Today, KAWS continues to live and work in Brooklyn, New York, producing art across multiple mediums from massive outdoor sculptures to intimate drawings always with the goal of reaching as wide an audience as possible. His practice reflects a deep belief in the power of visual communication, whether through a museum wall or the back of a cereal box.

Kukula 'Cake Room' Print Available

Artist: Kukula
Title: Cake Room
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 15 x 20 Inches
Edition: 50
Price: $450

 

Kukula, whose given name is Nataly Abramovitch, is an Israeli painter celebrated for a self coined style she calls Pop Rococo. Born in 1980 and raised in a quiet village an hour north of Tel Aviv, she grew up surrounded by Holocaust survivors whose stories of trauma mixed with her own childhood fantasies of princesses and ballet. This collision of horror and sweetness became the emotional engine of her art. She earned a degree in illustration from Vital-Shenkar in 2003 and soon relocated to the United States, where she now lives and works.

Her oil paintings centre on doll-like female figures posed with the haughty grace of eighteenth-century aristocratic portraits. Rendered in intricate layers of luminous colour, these heroines confront the viewer with direct, wide-eyed gazes while surrounded by gilded filigree, lollipops, songbirds and baroque ribbons that sometimes morph into their own skin. The ornate flourishes reference French Limoges porcelain and the decorative excess of Rococo masters such as Boucher and Fragonard, yet the flattened planes, candy palettes and subtle nods to manga give the work a contemporary pop edge.

Kukula’s creative process is intuitive. She gathers visual stimuli from haute couture runways, vintage opera costumes and independent women designers, then blends them with personal memories and symbols of feminine power. Each accessory carries possible meaning: a pearl choker may suggest innocence, while a lurking cat could hint at hidden danger. By presenting these icons within idyllic, dreamlike landscapes, she invites viewers to lose themselves in a world where beauty and melancholy, innocence and eroticism coexist in delicate balance.

Her work has appeared in solo shows from Rome to Los Angeles, and luxury labels including RED Valentino have commissioned capsule lines featuring her signature characters. Through every painting, Kukula offers an enchanted universe that resurrects the lightness of Rococo while telling modern stories of strength, identity and resilience.
