Monday’s Curator 111 - Tumblr Artist

Victo Ngai | on Tumblr (Hong Kong/USA)

Victo Ngai is a New York-based award-winning illustrator from Hong Kong, graduated from Rhode Island School of Design. Ngai creates action-packed artworks with an expressive approach. Her compositions are spiraling and moving, engrossing the viewer into worlds where mysterious floods, ghostly hauntings and supernatural beasts are all fair game. Ngai uses a subtle, dusty color palette and loose line work, filling the backgrounds of her pieces with patterns reminiscent of Buddhist painting and Asian textiles. Her works are busy but never overwhelming, with every detail arranged in an order that can’t help but make sense visually (source: Hi-Fructose Magazine)

This is our 111st co-editorship with curators on Tumblr, our sincere thanks for their participation! We are delighted to have ryandonato this Monday to introduce us Ngai, please visit artist’s website or follow her Tumblr.

Various works by Marina Muun

Born in Bulgaria in a small town by the sea, Marina Muun now lives in a coastal town called Bournemouth in the U.K. 

I like dreaming about living in some remote area some day, untouched by humans, with a microscope and a telescope for companions. I think if I wasn’t an artist I’d like to be a scientist. (Interview with Marina Muun)

Desktop background time! This hyper-detailed cityscape is the work of Imperial Boy, a massively talented illustrator. It comes in four flavours - dawn, day, dusk and night - so if you’re really fancy you can sync it up with the time of day. 

Wallpaper links: Dawn, Day, Dusk, Night.
