Edward McGowan/Parko Polo

Edward McGowan is a freelance illustrator with a side art project entitled "Parko Polo." I don't know if I could quite pin down what exactly separates the two enterprises, but I love both of his personalities all the same. You know I'm a sucker for bright colors and blocky shapes!

New guest blogger Sashiko Yuen

Ah! Exciting news! My online-soul-sister and all around crazy talented artist friend Sashiko Yuen is going to start guest-blogging on Domestic Etch!

For those of you who don't already know her, Sashiko is an illustrator with a penchant for candy colors and seductive ladies, as well as a talented crafter and baker. She's also been helping out with interviews for the last two issues of Domestic Etch. 

I think she can provide an awesome perspective to the blog as a practicing freelance illustrator, and also as someone who has very different but equally great opinions about art and illustration than I do.

I'll still be posting at least once a day, of course, so in order to keep posting straight (though everything up until now has been posted by me) from now on I'm also going to start signing posts...! But if you're ever unsure on who wrote what, just check the bar at the bottom of the post and it will tell you who the author was. 

Here's some of Sashiko's recent work (the first of which was made for the current issue of Domestic Etch), which you can also buy here.

If you're interested in guest blogging or interviewing artists for print, please send me an email at elizabeth@domesticetch.com!

Daniel Fishel

Daniel Fishel has always been very nice to me on twitter, and yet somehow I have forgotten to do a post on him until now. Shame on me! Anyways, I really like his sketchy textured style of drawing. And as usual, I love the album covers - Daniel has a good eye when it comes to deciding just where to crop an image. Check out his website for more!

Unrelated: I always love finding people who have done work for Allison Weiss because while I have no particular affiliation with her, my twin brother once drove her home from a concert when her car broke down (2 hour drive!) and they stay in touch, and my cousin Hiler also did some album art for her. Small world, eh?

"Femme Fatale" at the Cella Gallery

Stephanie Chefas sent me an email recently about a really cool show she co-curated with Nicole Bruckman entitled 'Femme Fatale' that is opening this February 25th at Cella Gallery in North Hollywood. The show focuses on conventions of femininity and the simultaneous allure and danger of the Femme Fatale through dozens of styles and mediums. The show features 35 talented contemporary artists, including some of our favorites - Ken Garduno, JAW Cooper, Nicole Bruckman, Jessica Ward, and a ton of other great folks. Some preview images from the show are below for you. And while I am too far away on the East coast to attend... I really hope some of you can! And if you do, tell me how it is! Information on the gallery and opening here.

Jack Hudson

Ahhh! Loving Bristol-based Jack Hudson's illustration style. Simultaneously muted and vibrant, realistic and cartoonish, awesome and totally quirky. His people are also so nice and noodly. You can see more work on his website, and also purchase prints, if you'd like!
 

Alex Gross

I actually own the version of Murakami's After Dark that has Gross's work on the cover, and have always loved it, so when I saw it mentioned over on The Fox is Black, I was happy to finally discover who the artist was (and also realize he was also the illustrator for Blonde Redheads 23 album,) and have the chance to see more of his work. Anyways, great stuff, very low-brow surreal and fun. I especially love the pieces with iPhones - how cliche am I? Loads more on his site. He also has a show opening Saturday, February 25th at the Jonathan LeVine Gallery.
