Nevervista


♥ ↑ ► I have decided to create a new blog devoted only to my artwork, my music, and everything that influences both.
◘ ○ ♪ ♫ I will be posting secret sketchbook drawings as i make them, along with archives of older sketchbooks.
{ ▲ : I will also be documenting my portfolio as it continues to grow, while constantly fighting the battle of downsizing, focusing, and honing my identity.

Julie Heffernan


Julie Heffernan graduated from Yale & makes paintings that speak to me.

I love how hopelessly complex these piles of flora & fauna appear to be, all in romantic technicolor

Sylvia Ji



Sylvia Ji attended Academy of Art Institute in San Francisco. Like Kawasaki, she lets the wood grain show through transparent layers of the erotic art noveau. I'm fond of masks, and I just love her misfits skull faces.

Audrey Kawasaki




Audrey Kawasaki paints beautiful erotic art noveau portraits on wood panels.
She attended the Pratt Institute for two years before deciding that the NY art scene was too conceptual for her tastes. Every now and again, I'm delighted to see her chanelling Ernst Henkel, who is ever popular these days!

Laura Sue Phillips



Laura Sue Phillips graduated from Hunter, and her work is in watercolor. She approaches the medium through realism, which is common for watercolor masters (i'm always interested in ways to challenge that) but her edgy self-portraits in intimate settings with her dog and the way it challenges the viewer's notions of taboo are what i most admire.

reminds me of a sketch i made a couple years ago....

Laura also makes these watercolor "pattern paintings" which must be compass-drawn and look very similar to my machinavista works. I was really excited to see these.

Paloma Crousillat


Paloma Crousillat was born in Lima and graduated from SVA. I am particularly fond of her drawings ---- her line-work and architecture in crisis series, and her "telescopes." This particular image seems to be subject to lens distortion, the way it's perspective pours out of the corner.

Bailey Saliwanchik


Bailey Saliwanchik makes dreamy art nouveau paintings
