April 2006

Julie West's new shop is up and has a bunch of new, beautiful limited editions available for sale as well as a bunch of gorgeous gocco prints – which are much cheaper, selling for around $30 a piece AND printed on unique pages from books.

¨Here, raw sexual aggression is symbolized by the sperm whale, while the squid acts as a thinly-disguised metaphor for the multi-armed oligarchies of Rockefeller, Hearst, and Morgan. Their battle plays against the backdrop of the sea, standing in for–what else?–the vastness of the unconscious mind. ¨

In additional to this wonderful print, Serge Seidlitz has a ton of great illustration work on his site – like this and this.

26 Animal ABC prints each one so cute and sweet they make my teeth hurt. I cannot even begin to imagine how much I would have LOVED something like this in my room when I was growing up. Also – flash site, so I can't link in to the prints themselves. You'll have to navigate over to there shop.

Scary lusty spiky goodness from the demented Michael Hussar.

Amanda Visell creates robots and monsters of all types in a nice worn down storybook style.

pixelly crazy happy funness.

All sorts of lovely big eyed ladies with enough painstaking detail to make your head spin for sale on Sas Christian's site.

Sam Flores not only does some lovely lovely art, but also has put out some beautiful new toys recently.

p.s. sorry for the lack of an update yesterday – I was ill and spent the whole day sleeping. 🙁
