His Illustration Academy profile offers some insight into his rise: “Believe it or not, Ted attended two summers of The Illustration Academy program before becoming one of our youngest instructors,” the school says. “Shortly after his time at the Academy, Ted’s career quickly evolved. His work has been commissioned by a variety of top magazines and publishers internationally.”

That client list includes The New York, Rolling Stone, The Criterion Collection, Penguin, Simon and Schuster, and several, several other publications and brands. See more of his work below.

Studio Visit: Behind the Scenes of Mike Davis’s “A Blind Man’s Journey”

A self-described history nerd, Mike Davis is a San Francisco-based artist who paints scenes stuck in another time. His detailed oil paintings are rife with personal symbolism and minuscule narratives, evoking Renaissance painters such as Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Aertsen. Though he emulates the Northern Renaissance masters, Davis is entirely self-taught. He forayed into painting in his early twenties as an off-shoot of his tattoo career. The founding owner of esteemed San Francisco shop Everlasting Tattoo, Davis currently splits his time between his craft and his fine art, using his paintings as a cathartic processing tool to digest the events of his personal life.

New, Haunting Storybook-Like Paintings by Candice Tripp

UK-based artist Candice Tripp's paintings of youthful characters frolicking through dark forests are at once haunting and whimsical. The children in her works, who often wear masks and anachronistic outfits, appear at once sinister, demure, and naive, sending mixed signals to her viewers. Are they specters who haunt these mythical forests, or lost souls struggling to get out? We last covered Tripp's 2012 solo show at Black Rat Projects here, and last week, she debuted new works for her one-night-only exhibition, "Credulous Morons," at Baltic 39 in Newcastle, where she lives and works. To mark the occasion, today we survey some of the paintings she has created since we heard from her last.

David Santiago Offers New, ‘24k’ Paintings

In David Santiago’s stirring portraits, freckles become gilded stars, part of a constellation intended to remind the viewer that “nothing is by accent.” The artist has an upcoming show at Stranger Factory, titled “24k,” that collects the newest work in this vein. Each painting is crafted on a wood panel, with the grain showing through the subject’s flesh.

Part of that tension can also be found in her approach, as she uses both India Ink on paper and digital coloring methods. Her work often moves between human and machine—with absorbing transitions.
