These Are Things is the illustration studio run by Jen Adrion and Omar Noory. They do illustrations for clients, and they sell gorgeous travel-themed work in their shop.I first read about These Are Things in Chris Gullibeau’s The $100 Startup (I wrote about Chris here and here) and I was totally amazed by their story – they …

How would you describe your work?I work in pen and ink and my drawings are straightforward and powerful.What first made you interested in illustration?

Robert Coombs was in the top 25 of ArtPrize with his work, Disabilities and Sexuality. I got the chance to talk with him and see his work on Saturday. His photos are striking and thought provoking, and well worth a look. If you’re going to be around ArtPrize, be sure to check out Roberts work …
Photos by Mr.Stonebender Anca Gray has a fascinating piece in ArtPrize. I feel like I could get lost just looking at it. It’s made of eggshells, a material that I don’t consider at all, let alone consider as a media for art. I had the chance to interview Anca about her piece, and here’s how …

Art Downtown: Emily Blocker I stopped in at the CODA gallery during Art Downtown and saw two of Emily’s pieces. I’d seen this top one before in the Kendall Viewbook when I was applying last year, and I’ve seen her work a few times around school. I’ve always admired her intricate work with charcoal—something I’ve …
I saw Fredy Santiago’s work in Trophy Room, a show at Kendall College of Art and Design, and I really liked it. I think I was drawn to it because it stood out from other work I see around the school, using such bright colors and painting on wood panel. I went to his website …
Siobhan Gallagher is a graphic designer and illustrator, and she’s pretty great. I first saw her work on Tumblr, with a set of playing cards. I love the way each card has its own personality, instead of having all the kings, queens, and jacks look the same. The colors are different from card to card, …
