I love `adnrey photo manipulations. I find them ghastly yet completely pleasing at the same time. Check out more of his phenomenal work here.

Lin Esser

“The new collection of tableaux owes its macabre spirit largely to the influences of the eccentric subjects of English symbolism, sinister figures of the renaissance, the anthropomorphic tableaux of Victorian naturalism and the Día de los Muertos style of South America. Lin Esser’s close involvement with film and theatre instills a sense of dramatic and concise design in his approach.” Link.

” Spontaneous in some parts and carefully designed in others; my explorative compositions are the backbone to the figurative rendering. The result is sporadic abstraction paired with hyper-realism. My technical focus is to illuminate subjects with areas of saturated clarity, while obscuring them with textures of the known and discovered. The work blends the authentic with the abstract in order to form a relationship between the figure and the intangible— between order and chaos.” – Andrew Young

Win Wallas <-- Born in South Carolina and raised in Georgia, Win’s Southern roots are important to his work. Playing music since age fourteen, his experiences in the punk and noise rock scenes further developed the graphic elements of some of his work by making scores of posters for underground shows, as well as album art for many bands. He left Georgia in 1995 to attend the University of Texas where he received a degree in art. Drawing, Win’s first love, is the source for all work, even when developed into prints or painting. His painstakingly rendered pieces explore the tension and pathos of life in a semi-fictional world where the spiritual, the historical, the symbolic, and the wild exist simultaneously in a struggle with simple humanity. Win has shown his work extensively in Texas, throughout the United States, and internationally. He continues to live and work in Austin, Texas.

A 670-page monograph of his work, Still Crazy After All These Years, was recently published.
