    Clemency by artist Jessica Slagle

    Like an eclectic kaleidoscope artist Jessica Slagle’s series titled Clemency Catches your attention and makes your eyes soak up the information placed before you.  Each piece beautifully saturated by symbolism. Much that we assume is personal to the artist and experience specific. That being said we were curious and asked the backstory behind her favorite piece, that also happens to be the one that started the series. She tells graveravens:“My favorite piece in this series is the first piece that I created for it. About a year ago, I started really getting into yoga. I was going through a pretty rough time and I found that taking 3-5 classes a week worked better…

    The Times by artist Fred Tomaselli

    I’m under the assumption we’ve all at one point sat there bored with a newspaper at hand and started drawing mustaches on people. I for one would switch peoples genders. My school teachers loved that. That being said artist Fred Tomaselli takes it to a different level and creates colorful art form front pages of the New York Times. They now become beautiful unique designs giving and everyday paper something creative and special. “In this brilliant time capsule of recent world events, celebrated artist Fred Tomaselli intrepidly and colorfully reimagines the front pages of the New York Times.” source:

    When you drank too much at that party and you get inside your head while everyone is passed out. Andre Elliot displays a morose and abandoning photo series of thoughts commented in party decorations. source:

    WTF Baby Sculptures by Johnson Tsang

    Is this a new genre called crazy milk babies? I’m sold. Artist Johnson Tsang of Honk Kong has created a series of large headed milky white babies fighting and jumping on each other.  The more I thought about it the more I realized the theme might be reproduction and the competition to be born. source:

    Wild Art by Ana Teresa Barboza

    Peruvian artist Teresa Barboza creates a world with an embroidering technique  of wild lust where humans and animals are co-habitat and are closer than usual. For example the pieces where the girls making out with lions and tigers.  I guess in the end we are all just animals on this little blue planet source:

    Adam Tan Paintings

    Based in New Zealand artist Adam Tan has a unique and symbolic dialogue in his paintings.  I believe the thin lines shown represent life and feeling. These smooth and cool portraits are fun to look at and try to unpuzzle. source:

    Artist Marilyn Minter, HD Oil on Canvas

    Large and overly defined fashion moments captured in fragments. You first initial thought may be, “I wonder what camera was used?” There is so much attention to detail even peach fuzz on the body is placed.  This shows how flawless glamour is really unreachable. That if you zoom in close enough even on the most chic situations we are all flawed and strange creatures.   source:

    Mixed Media Portraits by Bernhard Handick

    A perfect mixture of pop culture, fashion photography, and mixed media. The pieces are manipulated by combining other photographs and painting over them to create and illusive sometimes surreal feeling. The use of familiar faces we know from media are seen differently when taken this creative approach.   source:

    Geometrical Portraits by Boris Draschoff

    “These are the central concepts of my artistic essence. The transformation of motives therefore is a clearing of reality through optical reduction and refraction of contents. In this way it allows each observer an exempt view on the essential marrow. In this connection my process follows strictly the etymological translation of the word kaleidoscope, which has its roots in the greek language and means ‘to see beautiful forms’.” -Boris Draschoff, Berlin, Germany   borisdraschoff.com
