[ILLUSTRATION] [FASHION] Tara Dougans

Tara Dougans is one of the most impressive artists I have ever stumbledupon. At least from my point of view, her artwork is intricate and innovative with a side that can even be practical in every day life.

The project presented on Art for your Wallpaper is called "Beware of a Man's Shadow". It's "a collection of illustrated work featuring seven of this season's most playful menswear pieces".




"Tara Dougas is a Canadian-born, London-based art director and illustrator. Focused on the value of ‘taking one’s time’, her early illustrative work is reflective of a preoccupation with the authenticity of a hand-drawn line. Seeing fashion as play, illustration as flexible and digital as opportunity – her most recent projects explore the intersection of handcraft and technology, static and motion." source

[PHOTOGRAPHY] Philippe Ramette

<The French artist Philippe Ramette believes nothing should ever be faked. His improbable, gravity-defying poses might look like classic Photoshop, until you notice they are peppered with little incongruities.

"You see a tension in my hands, my red face is far from serene as the blood rushes to it, my suit is ruffled." > source

[PHOTOGRAPHY] Vadim Stein

" Vadim Stein born in Kiev (Ukraine) in 1967, where he got an education in the sphere sculpture and restoration.



From 1985 to 1992 he worked in the theater of Plastic Drama — as the actor and the lighting designer.
After leaving the theater was keen of decorative sculpture and graphics. Becomes necessary to take photos of his work. It was the beginning.

Now Vadim Stein lives and works in St. Petersburg (Russia), in the city of the white nights and the melancholy people.

Works by Vadim Stein are already currently in private collections around the world.

Vadim Stein: «Solving the aesthetic problem, I also reveal many ethical questions. For me, such things as love and death are revealed through the aesthetic category, beauty — the predecessor of ethics."

[GRAPHIC ART] Justin Ascensional

 Justin Ascensional is an inspired artist living in Vancouver, British Columbia.



Rootwired wrote of his work: "Justin Guse (Totemical) continues to grow in the northcoast of North America in Vancouver, BC.Utilizing photo manipulation tools since the age of 12, Justin has found himself blurring the lines between the material and the virtual as well as the scientific and the spiritual. His precision offers viewers of his work insight into the depth and complexity of nature, but his vision carries us beyond known realms."

[DRAWING] Angela Porter

Angela Porter writes on her blog:  "I’m a forty-something mostly self-taught artist and I find my inspiration from nature, especially ammonites and other fossils and microscopic images of living things, Romanesque architecture, Early Celtic art, Prehistoric art and monuments, the Universe.



Much of my work is abstract with flowing shapes, lines and colours that create crazily textured and detailed artworks. I have an inner raven that will not be denied; it insists I add metallic and iridescent accents to every piece of work I create."(source)
