Scott Rohlfs

I stumbled upon a really awesome artist lastnight on Facebook. His name is Scott Rohlfs and he lives in Portland, Oregon. He enjoys painting women with big eyes with an edge. He is currently running a contest to double his fanbase on Facebook. Right now we have 282 fans, if we can double that, Scott will raffle off eight 12"x16" hand signed prints of his painting "Minnie Meanie" (featured below) to the new 282 new fans. But not to worry current fans, he will also raffle off eight more prints. So come on people, click here to become a fan now!

Angelina Wrona


Angelina Wrona blends Japanese anime, folk art, and representational styles to bring her dark, delicate subjects to life. She derives inspiration from her 19th century home in Merrickville, Ontario, where she lives with her husband and two daughters.

The peculiar feeling you get staring into her creation's eyes are rightly intended. Along with a deeper feeling of endearment for their sad little faces. Her collection is appropriately named the "Senti-Mental Dolls."

When I look at The World

Antonio Roybal is a figurative painter and sculptor from Santa Fe, New Mexico. He can began drawing at an early age to communicate with his two deaf sisters. Roybal’s work is inspired by Northern Renaissance Art and early Mannerism. His work has gained greater prominence beginning in 2002 with the distinguished honor of being named one of the top 100 contemporary Hispanic artists by The National Hispanic Cultural Center.

The Moon

I just realized there is nothing here by Jennybird Alcantara. She is an amazing artist who lives in San Francisco, California. She recieved her BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. Most of her work are oil paintings on wood, but she also makes dolls that are sometimes inspired by her paintings. I love her unique sense of style.

Candy Woman

Below is some of Edith Lebeau's most recent work for the '7 Year Itch Show' at the Strychnin Gallery in Berlin. I think I am inlove with almost every piece she's created. Definitely one of my favorites here recently. <3

Pieces of Us and Them

Kate MacDowell hand sculpts each of her pieces out of porcelain, the reason she states "for its luminous and ghostly qualities as well as its strength and ability to show fine texture. It highlights both the impermanence and fragility of natural forms in a dying ecosystem while paradoxically, being a material that can last for thousands of years..."

MacDowell attended Brown University and has traveled all across the globe. In her travels, she taught in urban high schools, produced websites in the high-tech corporate environment, and volunteered at a meditation retreat center in rural India. She is quite worldly and eco-friendly. And her pieces say even more...
