I’m excited to announce that the upcoming issue of Sycamore Review, due out next month, will feature the artwork of Blaine Fontana. We’re big fans of his paintings. He works primarily with acrylic, often using wood and panel for his medium. This mixture of the man made and the natural is a common theme in his paintings, which tend to combine stylized images of animals or landscapes with graphic elements. Here are some of his paintings that will grace the front and back cover of Issue 23.1, plus color versions of some of the black and white images that will appear throughout the journal. For more, check out Fontana’s website or his blog, where you can find out more about his former life as a graffiti artist.

We are putting the finishing touches on Issue 22.1, due out next month.  Until then, we’ll be providing some samples of what you can expect. This week: The artwork of Brian Cooper. An L.A.-based artist, Cooper’s oil paintings feature abstractions of geometric and architectural structures. Here are the images that will grace the front and back cover of 22.1, plus color versions of some of the black and white images that will appear throughout the journal. Enjoy!
