My gradeschool BFF gave me a BobbyPin notepad for Christmas during senior year in highschool and I’ve been a fan of Jeffrey Fulvimari ever since! I’ve also read The English Roses by Madonna and that amazed me more. He’s my inspiration.
She Who Dares by Audrey Kawasaki
The themes in Audrey Kawasaki’s work are contradictions within themselves. Her work is both innocent and erotic. Each subject is attractive yet disturbing. Audrey’s precise technical style is at once influenced by both manga comics and Art Nouveau. Her sharp graphic imagery is combined with the natural grain of the wood panels she paints on, bringing an unexpected warmth to enigmatic subject matter.

An outstanding artist… I am really amazed at the quality and originality of her work. Someday, I will meet her.
