Juxtapoz Magazine

Juxtapoz magazine is an arts and culture magazine based in San Fransisco. It showcases alternative styles of art and illustration. I love this magazine because it's filled with pages and pages of art from artists with all types of backgrounds. It isn't snooty about art or have rules for what it should be. No articles that go on for pages about theory and what not, just regular artists showing what they do best. And it shows some amazing stuff. Each issue keeps getting better, with this newest february 2009 issue being my favorite so far.

You can find them on their myspace page and their website

Scott Musgrove

Scott Musgrove's work includes "Paintings of Previously Unknown but Now Extinct Animals and Plants" and the comic/cartoon Fat Dog Mendoza, which has aired in roughly 50 countries throughout the world. He has been exhibited in New York, Los Angeles and Seattle.

I really like his unusual creations and creative concepts. You can usually see a hint of a recognizable animal (or two or three or four) in his characters, and yet they're completely his own. & The amount of detail in the paintings enthralls me. It's like you can reach right into it and feel the animal... if it doesn't bite you. It's amazing, go buy a print now.
