Hailing from "foggy London-town", UK, Joshua Hibbert is a graphic designer whose work tends to be very colorful and abstract. Happy Saturday everybody. Today, EK will be unchaining me from my desk to grant me my one hour of exercise for the week. Oh joy! Sunshine and fresh air!

 Kris Tate is an experimental graphic designer currently residing in Manchester UK. Her psychedelic indie surrealist work has been featured Madrid, Argentina, UK and Guatemala as well as your nearest Urban Outfitter's rack.

Josh Miels is a crazy cool artist hailing from Australia. He was previously featured on March 21st, 2011 by our very own Konahrtist; Josh makes his big EK comeback with an exclusive interview and an awesome inside look at the place where all the magic happens.

Jack Addis is a very unique artist hailing from Oxford, UK who creates equally unique art work. Addis utilizes "visual glitches" created digitally on the computer to create his vibrant and energetic pieces.

Masaki Gaja is a graphic designer, illustrator, and 3D-modeler currently based out of Peru. Gaja was raised in Japan until the age of 12, when he moved back to his native country.

Luis Toledo (LAPRISAMATA) is an artist hailing from Madrid, Spain. Mr. Toledo was featured previously back in September 2010 and August 2010. Just from a single glance, what is there not to love about Mr. Toledo's work?

Clément is a fresh-on-the-scene graphic designer based in Clermont-Ferrand, France. How well he is able to add an old-school retro touch into his pieces is what I thought made him unique. The colors and style are so on-point that it makes you believe some of his works could have been old, collected ads from the 60s or 70s.

A student from MICA in Baltimore Maryland, Kacie Mills shares the EK aspiration of using art to change the world. It may not fix things directly, but Mills is doing her part to entice awareness and inspire activism. At times eclectic, her work combines the retro with the contemporary a juxtaposition that creates visual tension within her pieces. It is her honest hope that her work delights her audience, a fact that makes her a perfect artistic proponent of  activism through visual mediums.

Drew Millward is an illustrator from Coventry, UK. Millward prefers his illustration done ‘the old fashioned way’ using primarily pencils and pens rather than taking an exclusively digital route. His subject matter and style ranges from methodically detailed to a sort of psychedelic art nouveau.  His work has been commissioned by clients such as Arctic Monkeys, Nike, Epitaph Records, Disturbia Clothing, Bon Iver, Sonic Youth and Flight of The Conchords. And as if Millward wasn't cool enough on his own, he gets to help me make my Empty Kingdom debut!

Becha is an illustrator and graphic designer hailing from Novi Sad, Serbia. I went a little happy with this post...and by happy, I mean putting more images than I usually do. Happy Sunday.

Michael Schmid is a graphic designer hailing from Germany.

Tim Jarosz is a photographer and graphic designer currently based out of Chicago, Illonios, USA.

Brock Lefferts is a graphic designer, photographer, and illustrator based out of Phoenix, Arizona, USA. Ladies and gentlemen ready your hallucinogens...not that EK endorses illegal drug use or would know what that would be like.

Richard Perez is a designer and illustrator originally hailing from Pico Rivera, California, USA. Perez has a really cool retro look and feel in his work that we're digging. Perez is currently based out of our own very backyard of San Francisco, California.

Anthony Neil Dart is a graphic designer, motion designer, photographer, and director all in one...kind of like a Swiss Army Knife, only that he's not Swedish nor is he a knife. I'm thinking more of a human multi-art tool of sorts. Apologies if the page takes a little slower to load than the others...it's because we loaded a crap load of Dart's dope work in this feature! A crap load!

Through the medium of graphic design, Propaganda Times creates straight forward messages in the form of "graphicle" posters of the smart and witty kind that any intellectual would appreciate.

(photo credit: Marc West) Hello beautiful people!

This time we want your help.
