My list of artists who are "everything I want to be" keeps growing. I found Erika Ranee also via The Painter's Table:

age of the music video

Gavin Townsend asked us in Abstract Expressionism what influences artists of this generation... one form of imagery I often look toward are MUSIC VIDEOS. Check this one out! You can mute the song if you don't like it... but the video is worth watching all the way through.

Jakub Julian Ziolkowski

Over the summer I made a resolution to read every single word of Vitamin P 2. Jakub Julian Ziolkowski is a young artist who lives and works in Poland. I did not get hooked by all his work, but the image below was worth posting.

Regarding Mary Kelly

I also learned of Mary Kelly from The Painter's Table and am drawn to her powerful use of text and materials, and her feminist and humanist narratives.
