Artist Awareness

It's the second gloomy day in a row, so I will attempt to ungloom you and share with you a couple of new artists I've recently come to...well...worship.

First, Lora Zombie. Yes, the spelling of her first name bothers me slightly, but holy awesome last names! Ms. Zombie is a self-taught Russian artist right around the age of 21. All of these things make her one of the coolest Zombies I ever did come to know of. Her work is incredible - some of it terrifying at the very least - and I would like to own all of it. End words. Start wowdom:

Next: El Jefe Design. Of course I would pronounce this "Jeff-ay" upon first seeing it. Thankfully, my less ignorant co-worker corrected me. His work is something of a cross between my always local favorite Adam Turman and someone else (Lora Zombie perhaps?) I can't quite put my finger on. No doubt haunting, but with a serious jab of cute. Whatever his style, I'm finding it more and more appealing.

Well, there is my artist plug o' the day. I'm clearly drawn to darkness. But, I mean, just look at that cute-as-a-jellybean dragon!  Dark+Cute= my taste in art? Possibly so.

Hope you all have joyful days, even if some darkness seeps in.
