Everyday Emmanuelle.
French illustrator Emmanuelle Ly possesses a raw appeal that stands out in polished, modern times. Her work is primal but concise. Her attention to detail is skewed by an abstract subconscious.

Elder’s Play.
he first time we saw a piece from Jason Bard Yarmosky‘s Elder Kinder series, we were stunned. It was a fall afternoon at Lyons Wier Gallery in Chelsea and Yarmosky’s “Horse Feathers” (part of a group show) hung right near the gallery’s entrance, greeting visitors with its queer playfulness.

Pop Scare.
Japanese illustrator RUDCEF‘s take on pop culture is comical but also grim. His illustrations of pop culture icons, both new and old, are cartoonishly grotesque. Falling within the category of pop art portraiture, RUDCEF occasionally uses an element of decay to bestow an abstract mortality onto those who we consider to be timeless.

Document(ed) Park.
Romance in a big city isn’t as always Woody Allen-esque as the movies make it seem. Void of intimacy and flooded with a population that refrains from making eye contact with strangers, a big city like New York or LA can seem impersonal and uncaring. But in the midst of a lovelorn metropolis are flashpoints of lust and affection. Photographer …
