These three designers have been steadily working, putting pen to paper--or at least pen to graphic tablet--to create spirited, fresh and sometimes frightening images.
Leonardo Baptista Lopes Balneário Camboriú, Brazil
Leonardo Baptista Lopes' digital paintings are reminiscent of the rotoscoped, tripped out characters from "A Scanner Darkly". Like their dark(ly) inspirer, Lopes' grim, brooding and freakish characters live in an introspective dystopia.
N.C. Winters Escondido, California
Introspection, detachment and melancholia are key themes in the work of N.C. Winters. His designs display his need to fill ever blank space with visual stimuli--or at least tame it, prompting the viewer to stay a while and search through the details of these solitary environments.
Karo Akpokiere Lagos, Nigeria
Like the Nigerian underground hip hop and graffiti scene, Akpokiere's work is forceful and irreverent. The designs are ornate and dense with text and images that co-exist and collide (check out his stool drawings).
