Artist of the Day / Eric Daigh / Traverse City, Michigan

Posted on July 22, 2012 by destructivetesting

Artist of the Day / Angel Sotelo / Spain

Posted on July 4, 2012 by destructivetesting

Posted on July 2, 2012 by destructivetesting

Sandrine’s manipulated photos (by her friend Sophie Etchart) and drawings are somewhat similar to the paintings of my Artist of the Day yesterday, Theresa Pfarr. “Mostly, I illustrate lost souls, people, who are torn between strong poles like beauty and … Continue reading →
