This week’s featured artist is Matt Mills. Matt lives in Kansas City, Missouri, and has gotten a lot of attention for his works featuring staples of mid-century modernist design, architecture, and urban landscapes. I got to talk with him recently about his Eames chair, drawing with his son, and highlights of KC. Megan: Besides being an [...]

This week we’re featuring this new work by German illustrator Heiko Windisch, entitled The Arena. You can see in this new work the black and white palette that Heiko prefers, as well as his attention to detail. Moreover, it’s a great example of Heiko’s hilarious combinations of technology and nature – this time with a variety of [...]

“Since I was young my passions have consisted of painting and drawing women.” One look at this stunning new piece by Italian illustrator Angela Trentin, entitled She, Who Lets Herself Be Tempted, and you could easily understand why the artist included this statement on her profile page. This piece depicts an ethereal, nearly gothic beauty of [...]

“’Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!’ From The Jabberwocky in Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll Artwork to be hung in a diamond-shape.” This it the statement provided by the artist and illustrator Adam S. Doyle of this [...]

Thumbtack Press illustrator Joby Cummings has succeeded once again in producing fantastic, hilarious, and tattoo-inspired work, including this new print, Uncle Oil Sam, that we’ve chosen to share with you here. Joby’s skeletal take on the iconic image of Uncle Sam and the US dollar is a clever and comical commentary on government, politics, and [...]

Today we’re featuring Fruit Corsets In History by Thumbtack Press artist Liza Ferneyhough. This piece embodies Liza’s usual sweet, feminized aesthetic and evokes the charming quality of historical, antiquated caricatures and sketches. Her take on the corset is so tasty, but tell us what you think by commenting below. Be sure to try it on for [...]

Today we’re featuring Untitled (Diamond In The Mouth) by Thumbtack Press artist Irana Douer. Though it technically doesn’t have a name, this piece certainly makes a statement. The neon colors contrasted against the woman’s pale face are striking, but even more so is the expression of the woman itself – a seductive concoction of pleasure, confidence, and maybe [...]

Take a gander at  La Noche from Argentinean artist Hernan Paginini. Hernan’s colorful work reminds us of a dream we can’t quite remember. Of his own work he remarks, “I follow the essence of uncertainty for answers that bring me new questions.” La Noche may raise more questions than it answers, but there’s no denying the genius behind [...]

Let’s have a look at The Winnipeg Falcons by illustrator Peter Diamond. It’s a unique mix of sport and mythology that – at least for hockey fans – might be closer to reality than epic. In Peter’s own words, “As any fan knows the game [of hockey] is full of such ghosts. I wanted to [...]

In celebration of fall here’s a piece called Sweet Love by longtime Thumbtack Press illustrator Brandon Reese. It’s an obvious pick for anyone wanting to sweeten the mood and add a delicious reminder that Halloween is right around the corner. We challenge you to stare at this affordable masterpiece for five seconds without tasting candy corn. [...]

Kimiaki Yaegashi’s work is well known for its comical bevy of characters in interesting and sometimes compromising positions. In his new piece aptly titled Body Bridge, Kimiaki demonstrate his flare for contortion. This work includes three Japanese folklore characters doing a bit of group gymnastics. Their varying attitudes, appropriately enhanced by red on white coloring, make [...]

Here’s a thought provoking new piece called Sides by Francisco Miranda aka Tooco. In Sides Francisco successfully combines surrealism and detailed symmetry. Sides takes us to a polarizing world populated by light and dark, yin and yang and good and evil. And we’re OK with that. Give Sides a shot on your wall by customizing a print with our [...]

One of our latest art additions provides a dose of botanical bliss before Falls kicks into gear. Flower Child by Chris Lyles was inspired by a love for gardens. We love this piece for the bright colors and textured style embodied in much of Chris’ work. If you feel the same way we do try [...]

It takes significant time and energy to engage in the conversation and to make sure you can quickly connect with us in the digital outlets you prefer. In many ways it’s one of the most important elements of a modern day website. [...]

It’s part pleasure and part ‘pinch us’ that we are now offering some of the great works of Hamburg-based artist Heiko Müller.  We first stumbled across Heiko’s work a few years ago at a great little affordable art gallery in Chicago called The DvA Gallery (sadly no longer around) and have been following his whereabouts [...]
