Here's another phenomenal artist. I don't know his surname; to me, he's Vincent from Quebec. I was lucky enough to have him and his friends as house guests last year; it was fun having eight French-speaking boys hanging out and sharing their west coast adventure stories.
It was then that I learned Vincent was an artist. I got a quick peak at his travel sketches and loved his art. Many of his pieces are rather curious, and sometimes, just plain funny... They're common objects/things usually hidden in plain sight, but Vincent turns them into quite a bazaar.
I'm not sure if he has an online portfolio, buy you can check out his work on his myspace.
I'm "commissioning" him to do my portrait for my website. I can't wait to see what he comes up with - I'm sure I'll love it.
