artist of the week (pt. 1) :: samuel rodriguez

samuel rodriguez has been on my radar for a few years now, thanks to booooooom.com, but his latest round of paintings got me really excited and i wanted to share.
there is a wonderful interaction of pattern and human form in the pieces - both in the drawing and paintings. the bold, confident pattern work weaves into, out of, and around the faces of his models, creating a super contemporary new vocabulary of what it means to be a portrait painter and designer. keep up with his work on his blog.
