Meet Cuypi (Sebastien Cuypers), an under-appreciated French graphic designer and illustrator. He has a knack for hand drawn type with a character of it’s own, as well as fun and expressive character illustrations. His style is fun, quirky, light hearted, and sometimes sarcastic. His work ranges from T-shirts, to vinyl toys, posters and other graphic design, and illustrations for all types of media. The above pictures are from his first solo exhibition. Check him and more of his work out at www.cuypi.com.

David Sena is an interesting artist who uses an unlikely choice of medium. He experiments with fire, fireworks & gunpowder on paper, making intricate burns that create funky but gorgeous textures & patterns.

Sena’s process is methodical. He is focused, controlled and (most importantly) very safe! He’s developed some interesting techniques, from drawing circles using a smoke bomb held by pliers to burning perfect holes by lighting firecrackers under a cup.  Highly skilled, a little crazy, but very unique!

Showtel

Showtel

For the past 8 years, ArtSite Projects has created a very unique annual art exhibition called Showtel.  Showtel is a one-of-a-kind event that transforms a section of Hotel Biba (in West Palm Beach, FL) into a site-specific art installation that includes sculpture, video, sound and performance art.

Each year, roughly twenty artists are asked to transform the rooms into a conceptual art environment that is only on view for one or two nights.  Without the use of nails or adhesives, they fill the spaces completely.

The show attracts thousands, and continues to be the only recurring exhibition that showcases emerging contemporary artists from the area.  To date, over 200 artists have participated in this exhibition.

This year, Showtel will run April 8-10th.
