About the author
Hello, everyone! I'm Paulo Gabriel, a 26 year old designer from Porto Alegre, Brazil. I have worked as a webdesigner since 2006, but websites and blogs have been a hobby for me since 1999. Here in Abduzeedo, I try to bring only the hot stuff for you... and hope that all of you enjoy my posts! For more cool stuff, you may also follow me on Twitter.

Boris Indrikov was born in Lenningrad and currently lives in Moscow.
He worked for some years as an illustrator and book designer, and now creates gallery art in oil, sculpture and graphics. Aside from that, there is little additional information on his website bio (English passage below the Russian).
The gallery page showcases his oil paintings, fascinatingly detailed and, as revealed in the close-up crops provided for some of the newer images (above, second down), wonderfully textured.
I see possible influences in his work from Aisian art, Renaissance painting, Art Nouveau, contemporary science fiction and fantasy illustrators like Jean “Moebius” Giraud and perhaps a touch of Max Ernst, all of it woven into Indrikov’s own unique style.
In addition to the gallery links on the navigation bar, don’t miss the link from the home page to the Violina Pattern gallery (above, bottom).

It’s no secret that we here at Digital Bus Stop are fans of the Star Wars universe. However, while we’re fans, what Brandon and Emma Peat did for their newborn son is so far beyond fan, and makes us incredibly jealous of their talents. To decorate his room in their apartment, they designed the entire alphabet around Star Wars characters (original trilogy and expanded universe only. No JarJar, no Darth Maul). Below is a small sampling of their work, but I highly recommend going and checking out the rest of their work at www.brandonpeat.com .
