Over at Hideous Things. you will find things that are not so hideous. The artwork of Chelsey Pettyjohn may not seem beautiful to everyone, but I find a certain attraction to her heavy brushstrokes and thick application of paint. The unusual color choices for skin tone are intriguing and the coarse stare of her characters are perfect in her Commandments series.

Rachel Levit is another artist recently featured on Buy Some Damn Art. Her work varies in style across different mediums from painting to illustration to digital. The soft faces of her characters cast a poetic gaze onto the viewer under the stroke of a brush.
I love this infographic portrait, very clever and unique.

The illustration work of Sarah Burwash makes me so happy. Her drawings are so delicately executed, displaying a bundle of whimsy and beauty. Her ceramic work is equally intriguing and was recently featured on Buy Some Damn Art.

These stills from various video works and performances are strikingly similar to the art films of Georges Méliès. Ryan W. Kelly has a real talent for constructing a scene of fantasy with his detailed, pictorial scenery and impressively sculpted props.

Taking inspiration from a love for nature and classic video games, Laura Bifano paints polygonal animals out in the wild in the series Menagerie. Laura’s work has a very whimsical, fairy-tale like quality, very soft and nostalgic.

Bob Waardenburg draws out these complicated geometric illustrations as a critique on society. Exploring our obsession with growing technologies while losing a relationship with reality, perhaps causing fear. Either way these drawings are impressive and offer a bit of optical illusion.

Saturated with color and humor these goofy ceramic pieces from Lili Scratchy are just brilliant. I mean, who can resist little spoon people or quirky body parts with eyeballs.
