The mixed media pieces by Queens native Jordin Isip appear in numerous big-time publications as well as books, novels, T-shirts, and album covers.

Japanese Canadian artist Takashi Iwasaki instills abstract composition in his embroideries with the purest of colors to trigger the viewers’ eyeballs and imagination.

Born in Paris and residing in Brooklyn, Cat Lauigan mixes figures, fruits, and raw energy to reveal invisible scenery from the world around us.

Brooklyn artist Jeremiah Maddock uses haunted and hieroglyphic imagery to add wonder to the familiar, everyday world.

The dark and powerful work of Rhode Island artist Will Schaff has adorned album covers for the likes of Okkervil River, Songs: Ohia, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
