Andrew Hem


Check out this über-deace illustrator Andrew Hem!  In paintings, drawings, and sculpture Hem creates impressively expressive pieces featuring a myriad of interesting characters.  His paintings have an immediately textural feeling, synthesizing weaving and collage elements at times and abstracting them for a vivid and evocative experience.  Lettering elements also pop up in his paintings, drawings and sculptures, which are graphic and seem graffiti-like in style.  Existing in worlds of sweet color schemes, his choice of elements really come together into very unique and evocative artistic manifestations.

Nicola López, revisited!


Happiness abounded when I heard that the visiting artist lecturer at the local university (which I attend), was none other than Nicola López!  An excellent lecture on her process and ideas, and a look at the evolution of her prints and drawings (and installations).  Also an excellent photo opportunity!

Once again, find her work at
