Hiroyiku Matsuura

This is the sort of art I like. Colourful, cute, sexy, with a bit of an edge and showing great virtuosity in technique and composition. The artist is Hiroyuki Matsuura, he was born in Japan in 1964, worked as a graphic designer and manga artist. Love his stuff.

Nanami Cowdroy

Nanami Cowdroy likes to explore her Japanese-European background in her work, and does so with incredibly beautiful results. In her work she mixes ink, paint and digital techniques to come to a very strong, graphic result with elements of Japan and the west coming together.

Beautiful website too: http://www.nthread.net/

Tom Hoops

I've been looking at the work of a lot of photographers recently, and I've come across some really good ones. But it's rare to find pictures that just blow your mind, like the ones by this guy: Tom Hoops. His portraits have a raw, hard, but immensively beautiful quality to them. Look at his site for more pictures: http://www.tomhoops.com/
