Olivier Vilaspasa is a French illustrator, web designer, teacher and artist living in Paris. He appeared in our very first Six Pack. His body of work addresses a dissatisfaction with how the modern-day artist is marginalized by those with the power to influence the value of an artist's work. On one of his websites, he shares a manifesto, with supporting media, suggesting that the art market has become too much of a stock market. While he offers…

That sounds like a band I'd gladly overpay to see on a worldwide Reunion Tour. But instead of blasting off to some psychadelic rock music, start settling in for a quiet ride. Davide Bonazzi is the incredibly talented freelance illustrator behind the calming Day Trippers series. He calls Bologna (Italy) home and at 30 years old, his short list of clients already includes the Wall Street Journal, Paramount Pictures, Greenpeace and Fortune Mag among a long list of others. Having done a ton of work with several of…

When graphic designer Jack Hagley was a kid, his mom received a chain email from his grandma. It was the mid 90's so chain emails were the rage. Kinda like slap bracelets and early MTV (the good ole days). The email broke the world's population down to 100 people. Jack's mom did what any good mother would do and pinned it up in the kitchen to instill some values. Something about this resonated with Hagley because decades later, he's converted that info into something updated and…

At only 18 years old, Manchester-based Kemi Mai continues to impress with her attention-grabbing use of colored lighting, surreal settings and youthful expressions. As a self-taught artist, she is constantly experimenting with new mediums - although a vast majority of what she shares is digital. Kemi recently added some new work to her S6 shop so figured it was a good time to get a quick chat in. BEN: What about colored…

Adrian Macho is the 32 yr old graphic designer and illustrator behind the brand, Seaside Spirit. Hailing from the small Slovak town of Mocav, which translates to "Bear Village", he was raised "among the sketches and pastels." Turning early inclinations into a successful creative path, the S6 community has brought Adrian's work to the homepage several times since joining Society6 in October of this year. With the…

We talk to master manipulator and S6 artist, Josh Dykgraaf about his artwork. Amidst a highly creative blend of photocollage, illustration and 3d stylings, he manages to bring his own photos to life in ways most can't imagine. With a growing fanbase and clients like the Australian government, this dude stays busy. And when he's not illustrating with Photoshop, he's…

Here's the deal. We want to put a spotlight on the sickest workspaces our community is creating from. What are we asking for? Give us the grand tour. Post your best studio photos and tell us about the space. We want to feature the clever, the cool, the collective, the clean and the cluttered. Did I miss any c's or l's? As for the photos, we're looking for sharp images with nice composition. Blurry might work for showing friends, but we want to see your space in all its glory. In other words, if…

Guillaume Cornet aka Mr Guil just started adding his artwork to the S6 community, however, he's clearly been at his craft for a while. Because he matches large format work with extreme precision and detail, I had a few quick questions for him about the process. Ben: Love the favela pieces. I have to ask - how long are you spending on those? Guillaume: I spend between 150-200 hours drawing the…

Hey Society6, My name is Ben. I'm particularly skilled at anything that'll worry my poor mother. I've been adopted into the S6 fam to produce content that exposes more of your art to the world. You'll see me interview artists, highlight new members our community is high-fiving, build collections I'd hang in my house, and sharing as much information as possible on new ways to grow your shop.
