Alternative Artists

Keeping with the same subject as last time, I decided that some of my acquaintances and friends on a site called deviantart.com should get some spotlight as well for their work. First up we have an artist called HollyBlueArchibald. Holly's originally from the UK and has been a member of deviantart for a year. The first thing that drew me to Holly's work was her use of color, since I'm not very good with it and she is very skilled. All of her work has a twisted and edgy feel to it. One of the first works I saw of hers was one she entitled "Couple" (seen on the right). I just found it so sweet and sinister at the same time I couldn't resist. And again, just how she uses color floors me.
Second up is an artist called Nickalive. Nick's from Brazil and has been a part of deviantart for 3 years now. His main art form is graffiti. OK at this point you're going to think "WTF?" but I'm not kidding, his works are awesome. My favorite thing about Nick's work is his detail when he paints eyes, especially if they're an odd color like purple or gold. But for right now his latest work in black and white is probably one of my favorites.He calls it "Olho Pra Cima" (seen on left).
And last but definitely not least is Onewingedangel75. Angel lives in Greece and joined deviantart four years ago. Some of my favorite works of hers are her own versions of the Cenobites from the movie and comic book series Hellraiser. If it weren't for her I never would have known that there were more Cenobites other than the ones depicted in the movie. Don't get me wrong, I love Pinhead, but having more Cenobites? What's not to love? And she does an amazing job of recreating them and drawing new ones. One of my favorites out of her originals is her rendition of Kirsty as a Cenobite (bottom-right). I love the edginess all of her Cenobite works have and even sometimes even hilarity (go and look at her work of Jessica Rabbit as a Cenobite, it's awesome).
So go and check out these cool artists on deviantart, and even mine if you're so inclined.
