Greetings From Zilber

Hope to enlighten your day with some fun and humorous illustrations by Denis Zilber. Besides the ironic scenario Denis inflict upon his characters, I enjoy the bold, curvature, and exaggerated character design. The artwork is created digitally, but he put an effort to mimic the traditional techniques and textures in his work.

Denis Zilber studied at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. He is located in Tel-Aviv, Israel, working as a freelance illustrator and an animator.

Different Light Of Beauty

It is difficult to believe, Drew Murray has no prior experience in photography, surprisingly he captures the images with an artistic point of view by usage of saturated colors, cool versus warm hues, contrast, composition, and focal points. For someone who is self-taught, he definitely has talent. Drew began photography two years ago when he was inspired by Tommy Oshima. He admires the notion of capturing the mundane subjects in a different light of beauty.

Drew Murray is from Mount Vernon, Washington. He uses Nikon D90 with 50mm f1.2 Mudan TLR. Although most of his photography is digital, he is beginning to shoot on film as an added option to his work.

Expression Of Self Epiphany

Marie Barr has been telling stories with her art. She is inspired by her day to day interactions with other people through body postures and gestures. Marie states, "If you were to watch someone on a phone call who is fiddling with a paperclip at the same time – you would know more about the phone conversation by how they interact with the paper clip than by what they say to the person on the other end of the phone line. That is what I try to communicate with my art."

The International Lifeline Fund and Art Whino Gallery are putting together a group show, "Life Essentials" featuring Marie Barr's art on September 26 at The Portals Theater in Washington DC, and a group show at Art Basel in South Beach, Florida, December 5-6.
