This month's featured artist is Denis Sazhin. Denis calls his mini-illustrations "icons". I think they are more like miniature masterpieces.

Have a look and see if you don't agree.

Now there's a man with talent! Denis you make me green with envy. What superb work. Just love those cats in the tree. Thank you for sharing.

Denis - My morning started off like shi.. well it wasn't a great start to the day. I opened my emails and looked at the "Xtreme and Xtreme Pro updates" and zoomed in on Garry's featured artists posting.

The second I saw your icons - especially the Elvis and guy with glasses - I just had to chuckle - they are brilliant man (and my whole mood changed, which just shows the true power of art!).

Fantastic work.

I'm curious as to how he did the grass in the "Cat's In the Tree" picture? Sometimes you want to illustrate grass but don't just want to have a 'no blade' patch of green that has multiple shading or don't want to enter blade by blade. Can this be accomplished with a 'grass brush'? BTW, excellent art.

Truly wonderful work Denis!

The cats in the tree picture was my favourite ... it would make a fantastic poster.

Thank you all guys for your comments
Concerning the grass: yes, it was made with a Brush tool made from a single blade with random spacing and scaling parameters.
