Carlos Palomares is a Mexican artist who i think is doing some lovely work. At the time I write this he only has 212 followers on Instagram, but I think his work deserves a lot more attention. His lino prints have a fantastic ‘mexican’ look and feel that seems to be combined with a person who has an appreciation of the work of artists like Matisse. He seems to have a couple of styles he enjoys, and they are both really enjoyable to see. Knock back a couple of Tequilas and his work gets even better!

Mexican artist graficamazatl is massively packing the Wow factor into his politically charged work. This chap is one of my absolute favourites and if you have not heard of him or seen his work I hope that he proves to be as much of an inspiration to you as he is to me. The work speaks for itself, the use of line, the level of detail and especially the way that he can fluidly describe areas of light and dark are incredible. Not only is he great technically as an artist, he is also highlighting issues in his native part of the world that need to have the spot light directed at them. Bravo. You just have to hit the follow button when you visit his page.

John is smashing it, I love his style. His linoprints are full of references to mountains, alpine trees and pick-axe wielding, pipe smoking miners. His style is similar to a few of the North American artists I’ve mentioned in this article, but at the same time completely unique. It still refers to the great outdoors and frontiers folk that pushed the boundaries out west looking for gold but his character style is completely his own and very unique. What I like the most is his subtle use of muted colour tones, the way that his lines all follow contours of the surface they describe and also the way that John has started to print on top of maps – amazing!
