More art for the masses!
There is no “official” website, but Google image search has some very extensive results.
Doze Green got his start in the 70s and 80s in the urban and hip-hop scene. Its easy to see where this influence comes into his modern gallery work- and really develops into a style unique to him alone.
Drew works mainly in concept art, doing freelance illustration and concepts for various companies in the video game industry as well. There’s a pretty unique drawing style embedded in his work that I feel really sets him apart from other concept artists, and a definite feel for adventure that is always intriguing.
Some pretty amazing work here. Conception and execution is definitely key here, and its great to see it done so well and with such confidence. Seeing things different is a strategy and a blessing – not an oddity.
Looks amazing!

Bill Schwab is a character designer and visual development artist. Working for Disney, his recent works include Tangled and Princess and the Frog.
Emory Douglas worked as the Minister of Culture to the Black Panther Party from1967-1980, when the party officially disbanded. After being incarcerated as a teenager he worked at the prison printingshop, and later studied graphic design.
Douglas is really an activist artist, and used his silkscreen prints(which are still being made today) to spread knowledge and power to masses of people who otherwise didn’t have a voice.
Here is a link to his newest exhibition, at the MOCA.
So, first off, I feel like I need to admit that these are paper cut-outs. I think going into these illustrations and thinking “Wow, these are really great.” and NOT realizing that they were painstakingly cut out by hand and glued together is simply a disservice. Yes, they are fantastic illustrations with amazing color and composition and wonder and charm. But, they were really – truly- done by hand. In an age where things are so digital, its wonderful to see something done with good old paper again.
As I’ve expressed before, I really love artists who were splendidly ahead of their time. Mead was an illustrator in the time of Dean Cornwell, and in my opinion, really gave him a run for his money (Though, sadly, not nearly as remembered).
We recently featured David Ball’s work, but now I was just informed he has a new show coming up in February I think people should be made aware of. This video is also incredibly well done, and highlights a show I will definitely be attending.
