Aunia Kahn

Aunia Kahn was born on December 5th, 1977 in Michigan. She was raised in an explosive and unpredictable home environment and sought refuge through art. In December 2005, her career officially launched with her first exhibition and gained immediate interest in fine art gallery showings Internationally.

She's also a graphic and web designer, the author of Obvious Remote Chaos and the Silver Era Tarot, and creator of the Lowbrow Tarot Project. I really enjoyed looking through all of her artwork. It really captivates you and it's just genius.

Julien Martinez and The Ozz Dolls Factory

Disturbingly detailed and miserly, Martinez's sunken-eyed dolls reach out to the ugly girl inside of me. Each wrinkled vein and blood speckled bruise carefully demonstrates the unattractive nature that is humanity. In a way you feel disgusting and troubled after visualizing the robotic figure below standing before you, yet compelled to reach out and touch disfigurement.

Luckily, they are just dolls...

Georgina Ciotti

This is Georgina Ciotti and she likes to paint murals. Couldn't find much information on her, but her website says she was born in Buenos Aires in 1973. Her latest works caught my eye instantly! <3

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."

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...

Taxidermy has never looked so fashionable..

There is something intruiging and disturbing about German artist/designer, Iris Schieferstein. She's taken on this trend before, but this time she takes it to a new level. I'm sure Lady Gaga already owns a pair..

Mark Elliott

I found this artist about a month ago in an art forum. His name is Mark Elliott. As a child, he was inspired by Popeye cartoons, Norman Rockwell pictures and dinosaurs. In 1990, he graduated from the school of Visual Arts with a BFA in illustration. Since then, he has illustrated numerous book covers for young adult readers.

Daniela Uhlig

Daniela Uhlig is an amazing artist. She is from Germany and was born in 1982. Daniela's work consists mostly of comic pop art, but a lot of her work should only be seen by mature viewers. I love the colors in this painting, it reminds me of Pippy Longstocking.

Ahren Hertel

Ahren Hertel became known for his surrealist paintings by his cartoon characters, but his latest works are a much more realistic style while still being recognizable as his own. This is some of his recent works entitled "Forward" that was exhibited not too long ago at the Sheppard Fine Arts Gallery in Nevada, Reno.

Cate Rangel

For those of you who remember my original Strange Candy album that inspired me to make this blog, this painting was one of my favorites. I didn't know who the artist was for a long time, and after doing lots of research and link clicking, I finally found the artist's name! Her name is Cate Rangel and she was born in Washington DC and raised in Southern California. She is a self-taught artist and her portraits are drawn from emotion, mood, and personal experience. They are pieces of residue from her past, and a glimpse into her psyche. She had her first gallery show in 2008 and I hope there is much more to come.

Saints and Angels.

The Roq La Rue Gallery in Seattle, Washington is currently exhibiting some of John Brophy's new work. The exhibtion will run through December 5th and they will have music by DJ Vodka Twist. Don't be surprised if you see frequent posts from me about John Brophy. His work is captivating and leaves me in aw.

Alex Noble

Much more impressive in person, Alex Noble likes to keep it interesting, period! The website itself is more than enough to keep you occupied. Found through a fellow fashion blogger, I'm completely blown away by his 3D art. Mannequin's have never looked so deeply depressed and glamorous at the same time. Also, being obsessed with bird cages makes the below photo seem like a living room's dream come true.

If only fashion incorporated art like this more often...

Hello Gaga.

Stumbled upon two awesome photographers today, Klinko and Indrani. And look who it is, Lady Gaga as Hello Kitty. I love the idea, but she still aggravates me.

These duo photographers are well known for their notorious and powerful images. Their work has been described as “a powerful dream vision – seamless, erotic, unforgettable, and the work of two contemporary masters”.

Thanks Melanie!

Devin McGrath

Devin McGrath is a freelance illustrator from New York. I found his work a long time ago and I saved it, but I forgot to write down his name. Recently, McGrath was featured on the Who Killed Bambi? website. It's obvious why it is being featured here. :c)

Eamo Donnelly

Eamo Donnelly is an Australian based illustrator who is known best for his colorful, hand-inked illustrations. Most of his work is inspired by comics from the 60's and Japanese Manga. I love the fact that the colors he uses are soft and bold at the same time. Check out these shoes from The String Republic. I just adore illustration art. <3
