Jeremy Mann is one of the biggest artists on the planet right now, and we share his work often where it has probably amassed over 100,000 likes on Urban-Muse over time. We have to owe alot of Urban-Muse’s recent growth to the great works of this amazing artist.

Lin Ran, we selected one of Lin Rans pieces for the best of 2012 and were not dissapointed with his great work in 2013
“Lisa Marie Pinup” by Jeremy Leach
“Liz” by Ileana Hunter
Marco Guaglione, Marco is an insanely talented artist, his work is 99% erotic in nature and most of it can’t even be shared on facebook, but we found that these close up process shots worked great for illustrating how great of an artist the man really is.
Mario Wibisono
Matt Doust.
This is very sad for us because this year in 2013 we lost Matt Doust just before his big US Debut at Thinkspace LA.
RIP MATT DOUST 1984-2013

Snow by Fernanda Suarez
“Snow White” by Vincent Cacciotti
Soey Milk is one our favorite artists, and this is one of her best sketches of the year, which she said she drew in bed. Because of Facebook’s nudity policies we did not post it on Facebook, but did on Tumblr, so here it is in all it’s glory, one of the best pieces of 2013.
Soufiane Idrassi
Street Scene by Art by Theo
“Sugar” by Phil Noto
“Technobeetle” Work in Progress Shots by Miles Johnston.
Miles is one of our favorite artists and we actually only posted the head closeup shot on Urban-Muse and never posted the rest of it because of Facebook’s Nudity POlicies. So here it is!

Wojtek Fus’s portrait of his girfiend Agatha
Wojtek Fus has been a friend of Urban-Muse for a long time now even submitting work to the page. Earlier this year he did this amazing portrait of his girlfriend Agatha and it’s arguably his best work yet, we immediately posted it up where it got many thousands of likes. But we were really pleasantly surprised to see his work organically go viral all over the internet, all over tumblr, pinterest, imgur, Reddit and even KOTAKU a video game site! It got many hundreds of thousands of likes, and was definitely very impressive to watch. We are very happy for our Polish friend Wojtek fus, and for his girlfriend. The name of this site is Urban-Muse.com and Wojtek surely seems to have found his muse. This is what we’re all about.
