<p>It&#8217;s the last day of November. Now <em>Bizzom </em>is back with another edition of <em>Graphic Artist Watch</em>.  Come and find out which talented graphic artist  made the list this month.</p>
<div id="attachment_2985" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://bizzom.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Doodle_explosion_by_helenesse.png"><img src="http://bizzom.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Doodle_explosion_by_helenesse-300x266.png" alt="Doodle Explosion/Helen Kaur" title="Doodle_explosion_by_helenesse" width="300" height="266" class="size-medium wp-image-2985" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Doodle Explosion/Helen Kaur</p></div>
<p>1. She&#8217;s a hip hop enthusiast, loves traveling and well enjoys designing graphics. You can&#8217;t help but be inspired by the work of Finland native   <a href="http://www.hkgrafix.coml">Helen Kaur</a> The 27-year-old has a Diploma in <em>Digital Media Design</em>.  Kaur is  experienced in graphic programs: <em>Dreamweaver</em>, <em>3D Studio</em> and <em>Illustrator</em> among others.  If you&#8217;re interested in working with Helen,  you can by contacting Kaur though her official site: <a href="http://www.hkgrafix.com/hellen/contact.html">hkgrafix.com</a>  You can also find Helen Kaur&#8217;s latest work on <a href="http://www.myspace.com/helenesse">Myspace</a> and <em>Deviantart</em> as well: <a href="http://helenesse.deviantart.com">helenesse.deviantart.com</a></p>
<div id="attachment_2987" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://bizzom.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/orgasam.jpg"><img src="http://bizzom.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/orgasam-300x240.jpg" alt="Orgasm/Matheus Lopes Castro" title="orgasam" width="300" height="240" class="size-medium wp-image-2987" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Orgasm/Matheus Lopes Castro</p></div>
<p>2.<a href="http://mathiole.deviantart.com/">Matheus Lopes Castro</a> artwork is simply in a league of its own. Mainly because of his signature use of watercolors.  The imagery is astonishing and the colors are absolutely breathtaking. When speaking with <a href="http://www.designbyhumans.com/forums/show/634157">DesignbyHumas</a> the 21-year-old from Brazil says going in to water coloring was natural process for him. It&#8217;s not surprising that Castro&#8217;s designs are being incorporated onto t-shirts. You can purchase Matheu Castro <a href="http://www.designbyhumans.com/shop/detail/5639?category=">Wish You Were Here</a> t-shirt for just <strong>$17</strong>. More of Matheu&#8217;s personal and commercial work are located at his site:<a href="http://www.mathiole.com/website/">Mathiole.com</a></p>
<div id="attachment_2993" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 217px"><a href="http://bizzom.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Forest_magic_by_Grey_Seagull.jpg"><img src="http://bizzom.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Forest_magic_by_Grey_Seagull-207x300.jpg" alt="Forest Magic/Grey Seagull" title="Forest_magic_by_Grey_Seagull" width="207" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-2993" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Forest Magic/Grey Seagull</p></div>
<p>3. You have to admire this female Russian artist creative mindset. She goes by the name <a href="http://grey-seagull.deviantart.com/">Grey Seagull</a> on <em>Deviantart</em>. Seagull is constantly finding new and exciting ways of challenging the mind. This talented designer escapes through her artwork which is vivid and imaginative at best. </p>
<div id="attachment_2998" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 216px"><a href="http://bizzom.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Mad_as_a_Hatter_by_nyanko_chan.jpg"><img src="http://bizzom.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Mad_as_a_Hatter_by_nyanko_chan-206x300.jpg" alt="Mad as a Hatter/Nyanko Chan" title="Mad_as_a_Hatter_by_nyanko_chan" width="206" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-2998" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mad as a Hatter/Nyanko Chan</p></div>
<p>4. 7 Year Deviantart member <a href="http://nyanko-chan.deviantart.com/">Nyanko-Chan</a> is a huge<em> Anime </em>fan. So it shouldn&#8217;t be a huge surprise that most of his artwork  are amine-related. Chan&#8217;s work is praised by many for its colors and immaculate detail.  Now everyone can get their hands on Nyanko Chan  artwork through his comic books-which are available via <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url?_encoding=UTF8&#038;search-type=ss&#038;index=books&#038;field-author=Christy%20Lijewski">Amazon</a>.</p>
