I always like sharing new artwork of mine with you. At the suggestion of my manager, I’m doing a few more classical portraits in my original style from a few years back. Most of these will be for a gallery show. This specific piece is a revision of a piece I did a few years ago. This one is for my wife of my wife. There are 4 colour variations available in 1920×1200 resolution for your guy’s desktops. You can download the full pack here


Every once and awhile an artist/studio will catch my attention, here a few of the more recent ones…

Possibly some future artists on laFraise?
Well I was in a toy show over the weekend in Vancouver. The show overall wasn’t too bad and had some solid toys. I always find it inspiring to be surrounded by fellow artists and their artwork. Figured the show might inspire someone for the 15k Contest which is looking great so far guys, keep those submissions coming!!
Full set of pics here




I personally love this one.



It’s been awhile since we’ve had a EU winner for the classic gallery ans we’ve been slowing things down in preparation for the 15k Contest, but we’ve come back this week with a great EU winner, our very own Niarkozoid (Niark1). If you like his winning design Galactica you can checkout more of his work on his website.

Also congrats this week to Last with his design Je Suis Content

Stumped on the 15k Contest, need some inspiration? I got some right here…
Demo – minimal 60s-70s era
123klan – iconic modern
Fatoe - urban abstract and elemental
JG4B - sexy slutty 70s pop
Vault49 - abstract?
Charuca - symmetric lovable characters
Niark1 - characters, characters, and style
HelloFreaks - typo, characters, and colour come together

We wanted to say “thank you” to the community, and we figured every Christmas we give out a certain amount of BR (credits) but what could we do more specific to the designers?
That’s where the “15k Contest” comes in.
Here is the breakdown:
-Contest is open to all countries on all laFraise sites.
-Submissions start November 10th – December 1st (then allow 1 week for final voting)
-No other contests will be run during this time.
-We will pick the 9 top designs which will then be put into their own gallery as finalists from December 8th-14th
-3 winners will then be chosen each getting 5,000 Euros (yes thats EUROS!) and their designs will be printed in a limited run.
Can’t wait to see what you guys come up with! Good luck!
Update: all designs submitted to the “Classic” contest will be entered into the 15k Contest.
