  • Angelspit’s “Carbon Beauty”: Album Art

    04.02.11

    I love the artwork on Angelspit’s new remix CD, Carbon Beauty (released March 8), which is awesome as always. It features a black-and-white animal anatomy and taxidermy theme, and Destroyx and ZooG in some heavy-duty avant-garde all-black fetish texturific garb.

  • Toads and Diamonds: The Art of S.Jin

    12.09.10

    S.Jin‘s gorgeous drawings and watercolors contrast the daintiness of porcelain-doll Victorian girls with macabre sexuality, bruising trauma, and sinister anatomical metaphors. Her delicate, exquisite linework is sometimes accompanied by magical little poems and pieces of writing that exudes her fairy-tale aesthetic.

  • Sinister Forest: The Art of DeerlyDeparted

    10.17.10

    DeerlyDeparted on deviantART is a talented young artist with a unique style and a vision revolving around the woods. Working in watercolors and sketches, she portrays surreal scenes of the forest, combining victimized/eerie female figures, animals (or animal skulls), “exposed anatomy,” and macabre themes in a way that’s similar to Nomi Chi. These nightmarish landscapes, crammed with symbolic morbid imagery, I find charming and fascinating, and I hope to see more from this artist in the future.
