From half-naked pink girls to Isometric grinning trees, these artists are sure to satisfy the sucrose cravings in your eyeballs.

Some have already received international acclaim while others are fresh out of art school still planning their required pilgrimage to Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Check them out before they get too famous and start making stuff nobody gets.

1. Edwin Ushiro - Ushiro got his start as a storyboard artist for various film and television studios and it shows. His pieces are like stills from an amazing animated film we’ll never get to see.
 

2. McBess - This guy is only 23 and has already had a show in Germany and has been featured in dozens of magazines and online publications. Think Fleischer Brothers if they were around today and had half-sleeves and worked on Macs.

 

3. Audrey Kawasaki - Kawasaki pretty much spear-headed the “hot girl looking at you” movement we’ve seen coming out the left coast for years. An amazingly talented painter. If you haven’t already seen her work….get ready to get mad you can’t afford them.
 

4. Koralie - From Juxtapoz.com: “French artist Koralie with her boyfriend and fellow artist, Supakitch, were in New York this weekend for the opening of Koralie’s solo show Après la Pluie (“After the Rain”) at Joshua Liner Gallery. In truly creative and touching street art fashion, the pair threw up a mutual wheat paste piece on the streets near Joshua Liner Gallery. When Supakitch finished his portion of the piece, he added a little bubble with a drawing of a ring and a question mark, essentially proposing to Koralie. In a classically French response, Koralie drew another bubble, and simply wrote, “Oui.”
 

5. Amy Sol - Soft, pale, beautifully tired girls and creatures. It’s hard to choose which ones to hug, the girls or the creatures.
 

6. Sidney Pink - Pink is an American artist now living and working in Japan. Just some very simple and cool drawings. Find me one person who doesn’t like Japanese school uniforms and ray-guns!
 

7. Dalek - James Marshall, better known as Dalek creates super vectorish paintings…that’s right these are paintings as in done by hand. They are tight, chaotic and they will give you a headache in the best way possible.
 

8. Stephane Tartelin - Paris based illustrator Stephane Tartelin creates great characters. It comes with no surprise he has a background in the video game industry. Lots of print work.
 

9. Bryan Cooper - He designs it, he sculpts it, he photographs it. Then it looks pretty great. Fans of stop-motion will really like this guy.
 

10. Anthony Lister - Fat Batman, Toucan Sam, and hog-tied superheroes. Lister is making the big bucks for a reason.
 

11. Sam Flores - Flores is a self-taught illustrator and graffiti artist. Not only has he made himself right at home in the LA art scene but managed to incorporate his work in clothing design, skateboards, snowboards, home-decor and vinyl toys. So chances are you’ve already seen his work.
 

12. Casey O’Connell - At first, O’ Connells work seems accessible and cutesy and childish. Then you see a girl sobbing with her underwear around her ankles.
 

13. Stella Im Hultburg - The lady is a mega-talented painter. Very sexy stuff. Unfortunately her portfolio site has not been updated in a while. Check out her blog for more current work.
 

14. Leesa Leva - Your favorite celebs all inked and splattered. Including the Olsen twins, Radiohead and Blondie? Ms. Leva also co-writes a blog at GalacticMu.
 

15. Lee Hasler - Hasler started making digital art on the Amiga 500 and his pixel loving, isometric eye candy never looked back. It looks like what video game developers of the 80s imagined games of the future would look like. If only The Sims looked this cool.
 

16. Sam Weber - The drawings in Weber’s “sketchbook” are better than most portfolio’s finished pieces. Just the websites title image alone is worth checking out.
 

17. Alexei Vella - “Vella combines mid-twentieth century pop imagery with vibrant, bright colors to create a kinetic style all his own. Looking at his work makes us feel as if we’re wearing those dorky 3-D glasses they used to include in magazines and old boxes of Cracker Jacks. The sensation is less than unpleasant; in fact, it’s quite enjoyable!” - Juxtapoz
 

18. Joshua Petker - Tough as nails and sexual and suductive and hopeful and mocking. The paintings of LA based artist Joshua Petker will make you blush a little and then make you take up smoking menthols because you’ll feel you’re not cool enough for them. They seem ripped from the world of John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Shortbus)
 

19. Lori Early - Lori recently had 2 drawings stolen from her right off the walls of her latest solo exhibition FADE TO GRAY at the Jonathan LeVine Gallery in New York. That’s how good this SVA grad is.
