Black Ink Artist : Beau Preston (∞)
based in Queenstown, New Zealand

The eleventh episode of ScribbleTalks features Aussie-born now New Zealand-based artist, Beau Preston! Preston does a variety of black-ink drawings, but many of his recent work pulls inspiration from Star Wars. Take a look at some of my favorites below.

I had the pleasure of interviewing him a few weeks back. We discussed learning how to give yourself credit as an artist, overcoming fear of being in spotlight along with your art, experience creating tattoo designs, upcoming projects, and more!

Sculpture Artists : PLASTIC CELL (∞)
based in Orange County, California

Plastic Cell was founded in 2012 by the Tran brothers:
• Andy Tran @andytrvn17
• Danny Tran @dannytr4n
• Phien Tran @phientran
• Phuong Tran @phuooooong
First off, I love that these brothers decided to collaborate and build something that would leave such a mark in the industry - it speaks volumes to the values within the family to successfully create and navigate the business together. Located in Orange County - these gentlemen specialize in creating handmade original and licensed collectible sculptures.

These limited-edition Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collectibles showcased below blew my mind! I mean - just look at these - super dope!

Plastic Cell has collaborated with some of the biggest names and companies to create such incredible pieces. Take a look at some of the others below and check out the details. While I haven’t had the opportunity to own any of their pieces - the craftsmanship and overall quality appear top-notch. I hope to own one or two of their pieces in the near future.

They also sell art prints, t-shirts, stickers, pins, and other items.

Artist / Illustrator : David Jamal (∞)
based in Austria

There are some amazing illustrators coming out of Austria. I immediately reached out to Jamal after stumbling upon his work to get sharing permission.

The space themes he exhibited completely drew my eye into his illustrations. The fine black lines and shading on a white backdrop are always so killer! I love the micro shapes created throughout and the subtle details just hit. Much respect to how much patience is required from artists to do such tedious pieces.

Illustrator / Designer : Kelvin Chung (∞)
of Silent Speaker Studio
based in Hong Kong

I don't recall exactly how I discovered Chung’s work, but this is the illustration that initially caught my attention. It has the look of adventure written all over it and the line/hatch work style is used well. I traveled to Colorado to explore the outdoors this past October and have recently thought about going skydiving for a second time in the near future. So, just the combination of the those elements depicted this way made this a sure favorite. Check out some of the others below featuring more detail and give Chung a follow if you like what you see - the profile is linked up top next to his name.
