Todays piece is from an artist out of the Philippines, Sam Ramos, otherwise known as Samowel.
He has a great style of painting and I’ve been wanting to share his work for quite some time, but he just now got a portfolio online.
He’s definitely one of those artists that needs to be seen more, have some work shown in some galleries here in the US, all over the place really. I hope it does get to the point that we will start seeing his work pop up all over the place, but for time being head on over to his new portfolio and check out the rest of his work.

I spend far too much time looking for art, but I rather enjoy it. Most of the time I stumble upon artists that many are well aware of, such as Ric Stultz.
The day after I found Ric’s very cool work, I was contacted by Blueflip Art that they now have some prints available from Ric. The work above is actually one of the prints there. I love Ric’s style, is very brushy and and just good fun art.

I have stated this many times before, but I really love the look of watercolor, well not all watercolor works. I do however like what Drew Falchetta does with watercolor and inks.
He has a great sketchy style, and fans of Gris Grimly, and even Scott Campbell will like his work. You can see the Ralph Steadman influence when he gets all crazy with the inks in his work. I do like however that he seems to draw just a little on each of his influences, as opposed to directly biting their style.
If you like what you see here, head on over to his homepage and check out the rest of his work.

Today’s piece if from an illustrator out of Romania, Dominus Elf. I was looking for some more info about the Revelations weekend, and stumbled onto this work. The artist says that it was inspired by the work that Andrew Jones does. If you have seen any of Andrew Jones work, you can clearly see the influence.
I love the colors, they really pop out at you, and all the little details and shapes in this one really make this an intense piece. Head on over to the artists site, he has a lot of impressive work and even some tutorials and brushes for the artists out there.

Todays piece is from an artist that I mainly know by the name C-D, I believe her name is Anna.
The work is the most important part, and this piece is very dynamic. I’m a sucker for texture and this one is filled with it. It really looks like this is painting is on concrete, there is so much going on around the figure. Its watercolor, gouache & India Ink. I love the colors, especially around the arm, that tattoo looks great and that whole area looks burnt in.
I would really love to see a whole series with this theme from the artist, maybe different characters with different masks?

Todays art of the day, is from german illustrator Alex Wucherer. He works both digitally and traditionally, and it’s often hard to tell if some of his digital work has been mislabeled.
Such as this one, it’s digital but looks so much like oil paint. This just goes to show that having understanding of traditional media can really give the digital work a different feel. I really dig the character in this piece, he has that same stylized kind of figure that you might see in a Joe Sorren piece, but a little more tame.
This piece also starts a new feature for the Creep, iconography. Not all pieces have icons in them, but when they do I’ll try to point them out, and I encourage readers to post comments sharing what they think the iconography means. So in this piece we see, scissors, string, paper boat, moon and water. Now it doesn’t necessarily mean that each element means something significant, but talking about them helps to drink in the artwork.

Todays piece is from an artist out of Spain, julepe. The piece is called “Chica sobre coche negro” or girl on black car.
The first I noticed about this piece, is how great the photo of it is. You can really see all the texture and brush strokes. This is how all art photos should be. I really dig julepe’s style, he has a really great loose style, and some greats stylized figures. Check out the facial expression on the girl. I’m really looking forward to more work from this artist, and will definitely be watching.

It’s been way too long since I have shown some photography. So here is a photo from Ohio based photographer, Jeremy Brotherton.
He is quite an amazing photographer. One of the things I love about looking through his gallery, is he only shows his best. Ive never seen a photo from him that was worth skipping. His is consistent in what he does, has a great eye and is versatile. He works in digital as well as film, and knows how to use photoshop, without making it obvious in his photos.
This specific photo is the one that got me hooked on his work, I love how ghostly and worn the photo is. It makes you ask so many questions. How old is this image? Who is that girl, and where is she?
Make sure you click the link and check out the rest of his work. He also has prints for sale.

Today’s piece is from illustrator, Ben Jelter. He does concept and character design, and has a very crazy imagination.
It was hard to pick a piece from his gallery, but I liked how this one kind of fools you. At first look, it’s like a normal everyday scene, then you look closer and see what’s really going on. Like it’s no big thing, that girl is feeding worms(?) to some crazy figure with a mouth/butt. Excellent, I love work that gets my imagination going. You really need to head over and see the rest of Ben’s work. He has some amazing illustrations.

I’ve always loved looking at sketchbooks. It gives you a great insight into how the artist works, and thinks. There are also so many different ways one may treat their sketchbook. Real messy little doodles, or even little paintings, like the one shown here. The artists name, is unknown to me as of yet, but she goes by the screen name “god of insects”.
For a sketchbook entry, this is great. I love the color scheme, and very energetic brush strokes. This has all the qualities of being a quick loose sketch, while also being a finished piece. Looking through her gallery, I can really see that she has some great tool at hand. I’ll definitely be posting some more of her work. If you would like to see more, head on over.
