Tiago Hoisel

Isabel by Tiago Hoisel

"Isabel"

"Chorus of the Damned"

At a very young age I knew that I wanted to be an artist, and pursued that goal with every free moment. Born in southern California in 1979, I was raised by my very encouraging and supportive parents, on a ranch in Arizona until the age of 18.I never attended a major university or art academy of any kind, and I've always found the best teacher in art to be experience itself, so with that in mind, I found a job in commercial art and design, and moved to Florida in 1998 to begin my career. I spent the next few years working on occasional illustration jobs, but mostly doing graphic design to pay the bills. Eventually I accumulated a large enough portfolio that I was able to expand into the publishing markets and begin my illustration career in full. And thats what I've been doing ever since.

Evgeny Giselev

the endless mural

"The Endless Mural"

The diverse work of Evgeny Kiselev oscillates between the rigors of symmetry and prolific excess.Several compositions begin with vivid tiled patterns that are mirrored again and again until they can no longerbe contained and are forced to push beyond the confines of their logic. Others, emerge from a single outlinethat manifests the controlled lawlessness of the work. Each piece achieves a complexity of color and layerthat continues to build infinitely into the space of the page creating a warping spatial depth.

"Heath Ledger The Joker"

I have always been greatly inspired by many things, from games to movies and even TV series. If I like something I draw it. Most people call me a fan artist, but I like to think of it as giving me a reason to draw something so I can improve myself for better things. I love what I do, I always have. Without my fans I am nothing, so thank you to everyone who enjoys my work.”
