Communication Arts Students

Unfortunately, the comm arts site does not give credit to the BFA student who created these, however I do really love a lot of the work from this department. Here are a few favorites:

Tony Koltz

Yet another Painting and Printmaking MFA from VCU. I find the intricate colors and patterns inspiring.

Val.... I found you!! While I was snooping through MFA painting and printmaking portfolios I came across this. I was surprised when I saw the the name! This is my favorite of the series... I like the color, line work, and shape of this piece.

Jessica Langley

More by Jessica Langley.

I found Jessica Langley though VCUart's painting a printmaking department. She has an MFA from VCU in painting and printmaking.

Michael Murdock

I found this sketchbook by Michael Murdock online, I find it very fun to look at. I post it because I am HORRIBLE at keeping sketchbooks... I always rip pages out or start over- and I want to get better. This is inspiration to me to keep more complete sketchbooks.... also, I like his imagery.

Stefan Gesell

This is work by Stefan Gesell. Most of his work is nude photography; some of which I like and others which I feel are less artistic and leaning in the direction of being mildly pornographic. These images, however, I feel are beautifully, artfully, and tastefully done.

Toilet Paper Roll Faces

This is a crafty little project I found, I love the results and would love to try them sometime.

Baptiste Debombourg

This staple art is amazing... up close, the texture is so rough, but from far away the image is so delicate.

Kimberly Webber

Kimberly Webber. Astral.

Kimberly Webber. Awakening.

Kimberly Webber. Phoenix.

I found this artist while browsing in Cabell Library. This artist uses earth elements along with oil paints to create her work. I find her technique of using natural pigments very unique, beautiful, and inspiring.
