Through my random searches I came across the work of Taiwanese artist BlackZao, who blends graffiti and calligraphy with Eastern religious art. There are a lot of things that make his paintings exceptional but I really like the vibrant hues, lettering, and intricate illustrations. Aside from spray painting on walls and canvases, he also creates digital art, makes beautiful collages, and goes old school with acrylics and brushes. Check out his Facebook page for more.
Eleanor Swordy clearly stands out from the pack. She has a unique ability to create visually stunning artworks while maintaining her favorite theme and color palette. There's also a dream like quality to each of her paintings, which encourage deep viewing. Whether it's the way her colors are blended or how the cartoonish characters interact with each another, Eleanor is exploding with imaginative energy on how to execute it.
