Alex Noriega

Came across this artist/designer today who is based in Barcelona. He's using an excellent way of promoting his blog and his work by running a competition giving away a painting. To enter you just need to add his blog to your links list. To be honest, I would have added it anyway as his work is fantastic. However, I wouldn't have come across it had it not been for the comp, so he's done well. There's a lot of artists out there so I think promotion plays a huge part in shaping an artist's career...this guy's hit the nail on the head. Check out his exceptional illustrations here
