Her pop-aesthetic approach to pro-feminism and sexual freedom is liberating and executed perfectly. The composition and use of dynamic "candy" colors makes her work recognizable.
Free

The artist paints the economic realities for minority groups who are obsessed in the same popular culture that keeps them down. Free uses popular brands and icons that seduce the viewer to relate in order to enforce a strong political message to his culture about capitalism and mental slavery. Free's work wakes you up.
Henry Minata
Minata's work is forward-thinking and exceptionally creative. The patience, precision and surrealism is just absolutely breath-taking.

This artist redefines black culture through his inner-city aesthetic approach and classic techniques through stroke, composition and urban rawness.

This female artist is badass. Her attention to detail in her vivid illustrations is nothing less than talent as well as her strong delivery of post-colonial identity crisis as her subject matters.
McDade's illustrations are incredibly realistic as well-defined cartoons. Her two-dimensional designs are disciplined, clean and creatively exaggerated.
