Featured Art of the Week

September 20th-September 26th, 2020

Kaila Seebaran Queensland, Australia

Misbelief

I use art as an outlet to release my thoughts and help cope with my mental battles. This piece is a separation of outward appearance and inward worth; a reflection that feelings stem from beliefs not circumstances.

September 13th-September 19th, 2020

Ranked 83rd

I am Travis Turney, a 21 year old student-athlete and artist. This piece illustrates the 2017 US Open Champion, Sloane Stephens. She was ranked 83rd in the world leading up to the tournament, obviously, they got that wrong.

August 30th- September 5th, 2020

Ashley Chew @ash_chew New York, NY

"Untitled"

My name is Ashley Chew, I am an Artist, Model and Activist based in New York, NY. My work focuses around Women of Color.

August 23rd- August 29th, 2020

Isis Davis- Marks @idavismarks New York, NY

This piece was created as an illustration for The Rumpus. I wanted to show the ways that people are able to connect with one another, and I also wanted to explore what it looks like for people to drift apart in relationships. I think that things often aren’t static; interpersonal relationships definitely aren’t. I tried to illustrate this in my piece, and I often think about how people relate to one another in both my art and my writing.

August 16th-22nd, 2020

Ash Markiewicz @boxesetc East Meadow, NY

Fans & Flora

When I went to visit Japan for the first time, I was really inspired by its traditional culture, especially the intricate details of their fans. I also wanted to include Japan’s most famous flowers in the image, like chrysanthemums and cherry blossoms. I hope to go again someday to be inspired by even more!

August 9th-15th, 2020

Brandon Li @artbli Skillman, NJ

Thumbnail Techniques

This is a page out of my sketchbook; it’s a set of thumbnail drawings that were part of the planning process for a larger work focusing on developing my technique in perspective drawing. While the focus was on technical improvement, there were a number of ways I could go about it in my drawing. Thumbnail sketches like this one really help me visualize concepts in my mind.

Two Faced

Many times we are told to put on a straight face when we are upset or feeling very low. However, just beyond that ‘everything is fine’ facade, these feelings persist, and there comes a time when the emotions must show.

August 2nd-8th, 2020

Elise Lambalot @eliselambalotart Wrentham, MA

Equality

This piece is titled “equality.” I painted it in early June following the killing of George Floyd and the eruption of protests across the US. Painting this was a sort of self reflection for myself and a moment I wanted to commit to doing better. The “pinky promise” is symbolic of the promise I made to listen, learn, and support the Black community.

August 2nd-8th, 2020

Julia Davis @boredshenanigans Greensboro, NC

I’ve always had trouble feeling satisfied in any one place. I always think that I’ll be happier if I just go somewhere else, which of course is rarely, if ever, the case. My tendency to chase contentment has really controlled my life, and not in a good way.

Lawson S. @lawson_is_lawless New York, NY

Sunset Sky

I struggle with the inability to live in the moment and appreciate the life around me. Growing up with access to technology has made me dependent on it in a way that I never deemed possible. I recognize in myself this utter dependence, yet I can't help keeping my eyes down and glued to the screen that dominates my life. The moment that I find myself genuinely appreciative of the world around me is at sunset. I appreciate the utter beauty of a perfect sunset. This piece represents my infatuation with sunsets. Although I have hundreds of pictures of beautiful sunsets on my camera roll, this mixed media piece I created encapsulates my favorite sunsets and the memories I associate them with.

August 2nd-8th, 2020

Celina Dubay @celinadubay New York, NY

My Father

I'm Celina Dubay and I go to the Parsons School of Design in New York City. I’ve always admired how my dad wears suits every day. I think it really speaks to his character and I wanted to replicate his aesthetic in a painting.

Mezcla Featured Artists

Featured Artist from Japan

Saki Murakami

@sakimurakami_illustrator Tokyo, Japan

As a Japanese artist I am honored to have designed this wrapper. I drew it integrating traditional Japanese elements that remind me of Matcha—as Matcha itself is very traditionally Japanese. These include Matcha leaves, Carp, Cherry Blossoms, Mt. Fuji, and a Japanese Temple. I also incorporated the Japanese character ’咲’ (to bloom), representing the blooming flavor of Matcha – it is also the character of my first name. I hope that customers who enjoy the flavor will also enjoy the package design!

Featured Artist from Peru

Cesar Caycho

@cesarcaycho Lima, Peru

Cesar is an artist from Lima, Peru. He studied painting and graphic design at Catoloc University in Peru and is currently a teacher at the ISIL Institute and a resident artist of the Indigo Gallery. Regarding designing this wrapper, Cesar said "The whole illustration revolves around creation and life. The art depicts Wiracocha, the creator of the universe. In one myth, Wirachoca transforms into a beautiful bird, so I have also included birds and their flight as a symbol of freedom and dreams. The blue morpho butterfly is also endemic to Peru, characterized by their fabulous metamorphosis. So, I tried to show the abundance and wealth of our Inca culture."

Featured Artist from Mexico

Karina Desire Arceo Gonzalez

@karceo.art Mérida, Mexico

Karina Arceo is from Yucatan, Mexico. Since she was young, she always loved working with her hands. From sewing, to drawing, to painting, Karina started in the art world when she was 7 years old. One year before graduating from College, Karina started painting nursery walls for her friends and family. She felt like this brought her back to when she was a kid. From there, she started working on lager projects across different mediums – this marked the true beginning of Karina’s career as a professional artist.
