Anthony Zinonos

Artist Anthony Zinonos' collages are an exercise in restraint. Physically, his oft-published collages consist of little more than a few snips of construction paper, found images, and a scribble or two. Visually, Zinonos limits himself to bold, primary colors, chunky polygons, and thin slivers of paper. These minimalist works are direct without being simplistic.

Sam Bosma

To say that illustrator Sam Bosma is meticulous would be a gross understatement. While his work often tackles epic narratives, Bosma's panels are loaded with an exceptional amount of detail, making each scene more intimate. and even private.  Such intricacy requires a process involving nearly obsessive attention to the minutia of each image, which the artist carefully details on his blog, Slam Blogsma. Technically, Bosma's many-stepped image construction combines both digital and analog forms into one, harmonious output. His technique in both areas is expert. Though stylized, his work never feels wacky, as he perfectly balances the dramatic with the humerous. Bosma's characters are always lovingly rendered.
