Artist Spotlight: Gregory and Olga Grozos

The Grozos' are a couple living on Cyprus who own a shop called Micro (as well as an Etsy shop where you can buy some of their amazing creations).

They work in a micro scale, making tiny steampunk and other inspired jewelry. Here's a tiny sample from Gregory Grozos' facebook page:

Artist Spotlight: Ellen Jewett

Someone mentioned Creatures From El after my last artist spotlight post, and I must say, she does incredible sculptures.

From her Etsy profile:

Ellen was born in Markham Ontario and raised among mildew and snails. She took to shaping three dimensional forms naturally at a young age. To Ellen sculpting has always been about life, biological narratives and cultural statements. The tedious hours of labor act as the mysterious foundation from which each sculptures' personality springs forth.

In 2007 Ellen completed her post secondary education with a degree in Biological Anthropology and Art Critique from McMaster University. She had already started Creatures from El in 2005 and upon graduation plunged into it full time, never looking back.

When working in her studio Ellen enjoys the company of animals and listens to audio books and podcastes. She finds this immersion in thought and ideas helps create the depth of spontaneity in her sculptural narratives.

You can commission artwork from her and see her galleries on Etsy and Deviant Art.

Here are just two examples of her amazing work.

Dragon and White Tiger

Otter With Mechanical Wings

Artist Spotlight: Hontor

I realize I haven't done an artist spotlight in months.  I'm hoping to post them more regularly going forward.

Eugene Hontor is a Russian artist you can find on Deviant Art, Etsy and his website (in Russian) who does paintings and sculptures.

Here are a few examples of his work:

Mahaons Dance

Dragon-Rabbit Jackalope

Conjured

Artist Spotlight: Jeremy Mayer

My husband pointed this Technabob article out to me a few months ago.  Artist Jeremy Mayer, based in Oakland, California, uses recycled typewriters to make statues.  He puts them together without welding, soldering or glue!  Check out his website to see more of his creations.  And to whet your appetite, a typewriter cat.

Artist Spotlight: Mark Adamus

While he's a photographer and not a fantasy/SF artist, his photos are stunning and many of them could pass for alien or fantasy landscapes.  He's based in Corvallis, Oregon and his work has been published in calendars, books, ads, and magazines, including National Geographic, Outdoor Photographer, Popular Photography, and more.  The photos I'm posting here come from his "Personal Favorites" gallery.  You can buy prints of his photos from his website.

Check out his site to learn more about him and see more of his work (the link goes to his gallery page, as his home page has a flash album running).
