A Modern Life Illustrated

I love these mixed media, pen and gouache pieces. They are so comforting and familiar. The patterns, the scenes, the everyday happenings of normal life. Russian born artist, Yelena Bryksenkova, is inspired by the comforts of home. Warm blankets, wallpapers, cats, houseplants, with an occasional melancholic theme, these tiny pieces are everything I want in… Read More A Modern Life Illustrated

All Color with James Jean

James Jean is nothing if not prolific. The amount of work, and beautiful, inspiring, provoking work that Jean produces is incredible. Nearly as incredible as the swirling masses of color that he uses in his work. Whether digital, acrylic or a hybrid illustration, each piece brings color home hard. The movement in the pieces wraps… Read More All Color with James Jean

Symbolism & Mythos

Italian artist Agostino Arrivabene’s paintings evoke deep feelings of illness, of change, or growth both bad and good. Layered in oil and gold leaf, each painting gives off the appearance of being physically heavy and conveys the weight that is literally placed on its subjects. There are blood vessels moving into limbs moving out of… Read More Symbolism & Mythos

Confessions of a Cat Lady

Surrealist painter, Casey Weldon, speaks to my inner (and outer) cat lady. These cute little freaks are just so adorable they make my heart melt and I want to snuggle them. They’re lovable and creepy and display a genuine talent as far as accurately duplicating facial features. The bright worlds surrounding the cats are so… Read More Confessions of a Cat Lady

Modern Lolita with Audrey Kawasaki

About ten years ago, I stumbled upon an image of one of Audrey Kawasaki’s paintings online. I have been in love with her ever since. The women in her paintings are light, sensual, innocent, slightly mysterious, and full of a pouty brooding that drags me in and keeps me. Kawasaki’s integration of the panel’s woodgrain… Read More Modern Lolita with Audrey Kawasaki

Based on a True Story

Artist Mandy Cao’s paintings are beautiful and painful, calm and striking, completely surreal and yet very much relatable. I first saw Cao’s painting “Girl and Keeper”, which is the header for this post, a little while ago and immediately saved it and then moved on. But the image stuck with me. It’s sad, serene, familiar,… Read More Based on a True Story
