__________
38. James Hart Dyke (February 2011)

43. José Ferreira (August 2011)
KA: Truly moving and startling work.
BM: Yea for reals. You know he’s legit if I have zero desire to make a smartass comment.
KA: “We’re dealing with real human beings who are suffering and dying and being tortured and starving because of policies that we are involved in we, as citizens of democratic societies, are directly involved in and responsible for. And what the media are doing is ensuring that we do not act on our responsibilities, and that the interests of power are served, not the interests of suffering people, and not the needs of the American people, who would be horrified if they realized the blood that’s dripping from their hands because of the way they’re allowing themselves to be deluded and manipulated by the system.” -Noam Chomsky
__________

47. Kelsey Brookes (November 2011, June 2010)
KA: Last year on a crazy-wack-a-do roadtrip to Las Vegas, we ended up getting absolutely lost in the middle of fuckin’ nowhere in the dead of the night on some god-forsaken unmarked rural highway, and ran over two HUGE hares (not mere rabbits) and a majestic owl (of all fuckin’ creatures of the desert) just before we ran out of gas.
BM: JJOOEEYYY!

__________
54. Kris Kuksi ★ (December 2011, August 2011, March 2010)

__________
67. Max Ginsburg (August 2011)
KA: After really examining Ginsburg’s work in 2011, I can say that he is one of the few contemporary artists that I truly look up to. He carefully merges classical dramatism with moments and scenes of relevant contemporary times in a way that makes my underwear tingle. Inappropriate? I think not.

__________
68. Menoside (June 2011)
__________
69. Motohiko Odani (March 2011, June 2010)

77. Raul Ronald Moreno Cardenas (March 2011)
__________
78. Ray Jones (July 2011, August 2010, April 2010)

__________
80. Richard Mosse (December 2011, August 2010)
KA: I give much props to Mosse for bringing back such beautiful and startling images from war-torn Kivu, Congo. And to think, most American’s still think Africa is a country and not a continent…
__________
81. Rikki Kasso ★ (August 2011 – PART I, August 2011 – PART II, January 2011, June 2010)

__________
82. Robert Gligorov (October 2011)
__________
83. Ruben Brulat (November 2011)

__________
90. Serge Salat (September 2011)
OK: Serge Salat & Co’s traveling architectural installation show is one of a kind.
__________
91. Shawn Barber (July 2011)
KA: Mr. Barber is the illest of the ill.
BM: He’s super cool and was the first artist we met back when we were still in school and wet behind the ears. I consider him partially responsible for the success of EK today…he personally introduced us to many great artists we love and support today.
I remember he was like: “I should introduce you to James Jean, he’d be a good interview for your documentary.”
And I was like, “Who’s that?”
And he was like, “Only one of the most influential illustrators working today… You ass.”
-okay I added the ass part, but it was history after that. Cheers to you, Mr. Barber.
__________
92. Shinji Imaoka & Christopher Doyle: “Underwater Love” (November 2011)
KA: Oh me, oh my…
BM: While giving a top 100 spot to a trailer is usually unacceptable, this one had the three of us giggling like school girls. Also, the fact that it was shot by the legendary Christopher Doyle makes it automatically awesome, no matter what the story.
__________
93. Shintaro Ohata (September 2011)
OK: It’s one thing to create sculptures and another to create a scenic installation. Shintaro creates both by blending a 3D rendered look, while feeling like we’re in the midst of an anime scene.
__________
94. Spunky Zoe (October 2011)
KA: Be it as it may, Spunky Zoe is probably one of my many personal favorite breakout artists for 2011. Ball-point pens, y’all…BALL-POINT PENS!

95. Terence Chang (June 2011)
BM: If you leave your heart in San Francisco…I’ll keep it safe. Cake.
KA: If you leave your heart in San Francisco…okmarzo will eat it with cake. Huh?
__________
96. Thom Puckey ★ (EK Interview – November 2011, August 2011, May 2010)
OK: The Greek Gods are very proud of you.
KA: I think the Greek God both fear and desire Puckey’s works!
BM: I imagine the Greek Gods are a bit confused.
__________
97. Ting Cheng (July 2011)
__________
98. TSO Photography (September 2011)
BM: Where’s the double rainbow?
OK: Rumor has it that Double Rainbow Man supposedly relapsed after watching this.
__________
99. Yutaka Sone (September 2011)
__________
