Bonnie Reid’s Lovelies

Artist Bonnie Reid has a plethora of lovely illustrative pieces with an vintage, anatomical or a bony bent. She hails from Vancouver and also freelances in animation. From her website:  “Exploring the underpinnings, bumps, and anomalies in all manner of historical arcana, Bonni Reid’s subject matter reflects a dark underlying mythos that belies the innocence, wonder, and imagination of a hazy past.”

Scott Scheidly’s Lustrous & Bony Botany

Artist Scott Scheidly was born in Ohio and currently lives in Florida. He produces some of the most beautiful paintings of skeletal art we’ve encountered - mixed with poetically rendered botanical subjects. From his humorous bio on his website, he also seems to share our fondness for eating paste in grade school. It hasn’t hurt his superb painting ability one bit!

Fabulous Fernando Vicente

Born in Madrid, Spain - artist Fernando Vicente’s massive portfolio contains an eclectic variety of incredible works. An illustrator and fine artist, he runs the gamut from cartoons to editorial, pin-ups to portraits, realism to fantasy, cartography to anatomy.  The elegance of Fernando’s “Vanitas” series 

(the ones with a green circle background), elevates anatomical art to a surreal and decorative - yet unusual beauty.

Seth Siro Anton’s Beautiful Nightmares

Seth is an artist from Athens, Greece and he covers all the bases in art - creating works from paintings, sculptures and digital photography - as well as music with his metal band Septic Flesh. His works have a darkly primal basis in anatomical breakdowns, de-structuring and peeling away - to reveal surreal textures, morphed beings and juxtapositions. They also have a clean elegance of design focus - hence he has created many killer album covers.

An excerpt from an interview with Paradise Lost:

“In my paintings, I usually start with something random and completely abstract. I take nude pictures as a subject whom I take through coloring and painting and eventually using Photoshop, I blend inside the painting. I add more painting on top of that with acrylics and other materials (oils, air spray etc) and I end up with a new picture. I am trying to create a composite technique combining sculpturing layout, painting and photography. I work the subject with digital processing using Photoshop and Painter. Naturally, I have been helped a lot by the experience gained when I was studying at the University of Fine Arts in Athens .” LINK

The Mistress of All Pencil Pushers: Laurie Lipton

Lachrymose Lace - Lipton

Born in New York and very well traveled, Laurie Lipton currently lives in Los Angeles. She creates wonderfully detailed and super tight renderings of haunted Victorian scenarios. Working mostly in pencil, charcoal and etchings. Laurie's surreal worlds contain narratives of ghostlands - staid skeletons, vintage housewives and Big Brother - all hold court in a tapestry of gothic science fiction. Modern postcards anointed with mischievous glee, political stabs, fancy lace perfection and witty twists.

 Laurie’s upcoming solo show (above) opens Oct. 1st. at Last Rites in New York City, on view thru Oct. 23rd, 2011.
