I'm a Seattle-based Artist & Designer
Design Philosophy: Less is more. Editing a design down to the bare essentials is a practice that I exercise on a daily basis.
While at work: I provide creative vision for all design projects; promoting sound UX design while supporting business objectives.
I'm always interested in new opportunities & partnerships
I'm driven by the process of creating my art; the construction and destruction of layers, the addition and subtraction of paper and paint. The majority of my work is mounted on board, allowing me to scrape and really beat up the surface if I so desire. My next collection I have planned will be large scale abstractions - I may have some current work for sale (some not pictured above) contact me for details - aleximaczka gmail
Jason Hackenwert makes more than your average balloon animals; his pieces remind me of giant sea creatures and/or microscopic organisms - you choose. Watch Jason destroy one of his sculptures with a razor.
Yoo Young Wun transforms newspapers, advertisements, and handbills into crazy distorted characters. It appears that he uses some sort of special folding technique to produces the unique surface texture.
Gordon Bennett assembles these robots from found objects. Ranging in height from 14-25" these one-of-a-kind sculptures each take about a month to build and are definitely not toys. Bennett's work is inspired by the industrial designers, Norman Bel Geddes and Raymond Loewy (a Loewy pencil sharpener prototype sold at auction for 100k).

Parra - a Dutch graphic designer, illustrator, artist, art director, and clothing company owner - he's got a unique style (and twisted humor) that I enjoy. Check out this collabo with Nike and his Rockwell clothing company.
Jim Houser - interesting pieces with a nice, folk art style - go on a tour of his studio
Yumiko - online, her work looks computer generated - it's not. I've seen a few of her shows (at the Shooting Gallery in SF and Roq La Rue here in Seattle) and her precise illustrative painting technique is quite impressive.

Ferris Plock - artwork incorporates animals or monsters in everyday human activity
Gregory Euclide - an artist and teacher who creates amazing mixed media pieces that I would love to see in person
Meredith Dittmar - a Portland based artist, her work is crazy (I had a small art show with her at FancySchmancyPants when I first moved to Seattle in 2005)

Made in Buenos Aires, this ambiguous animation was painted on all public walls (and sidewalks and deserted buildings and...) - Super creative, I can only imagine how much time this must have taken to produce!
Be sure to check out his other work as well: http://blublu.org/sito/updates/updates.htm
