Supermundane
Supermundane is the pseudonym of Rob Lowe, a multi-disciplined creative who works as a graphic designer, artist, illustrator, typographer, and art director in London, England. He uses tortuous techniques to create work that is stunning in its simplicity. He's best known for his pencil works, a series of doodled shapes incorporating small alien characters and handwritten titles.

Georg Oddner
Georg Mirskij Oddner was one of Swedens greatest photographers from the 20th century. His career spans more than five decades. The variety of his work is endless and the subject matter boundless. Georg once said, "Everything is subject matter—the key is to express the subject so that you acquire a relationship to it."
His pictures exude careful thought and humanism, respect and human closeness. All this shines through his pictures and makes him so unique as a photographer.

Aaron Baggio
Aaron Baggio's work is caught somewhere between abstraction and realism. One traditional pen and ink technique involves successive dots to build up darker tones. Baggio creates grainy textures and unexpected patterns in his pen and ink portraits using watercolors, acrylics, intricate line work, and digital assistance.

JR
French photographer JR has spent the year taking portraits of victimized women in Africa, Asia, and South America, then making massive, poster-size prints, which he plasters illegally in places you'd least expect—on buildings, bridges, buses, and beyond. The idea, says JR, who doesn't give his full name in case he's prosecuted, is to celebrate the strength and courage of women who live in places where they are often targets in wartime—and discriminated against in times of peace.
