Rachel Levit is another artist recently featured on Buy Some Damn Art. Her work varies in style across different mediums from painting to illustration to digital. The soft faces of her characters cast a poetic gaze onto the viewer under the stroke of a brush.
I love this infographic portrait, very clever and unique.

The paintings and sculptural work of Pedro Friedeberg are just wild. A psychedelic M.C. Escher-esque style choke-full of bright colors and bold patterns offering up illusions and fantasy.

The illustration work of Sarah Burwash makes me so happy. Her drawings are so delicately executed, displaying a bundle of whimsy and beauty. Her ceramic work is equally intriguing and was recently featured on Buy Some Damn Art.

Taking inspiration from a love for nature and classic video games, Laura Bifano paints polygonal animals out in the wild in the series Menagerie. Laura’s work has a very whimsical, fairy-tale like quality, very soft and nostalgic.

Bob Waardenburg draws out these complicated geometric illustrations as a critique on society. Exploring our obsession with growing technologies while losing a relationship with reality, perhaps causing fear. Either way these drawings are impressive and offer a bit of optical illusion.

Saturated with color and humor these goofy ceramic pieces from Lili Scratchy are just brilliant. I mean, who can resist little spoon people or quirky body parts with eyeballs.

The paintings of Kim Westfall are just superb and her tumblr page is teeming with them. I just love irregular paper canvases. The quality of her work is so painterly and textural and abstract.

Katy Horan has a unique relationship with paper, manipulating it to create these beautiful textural pieces of art. Her female characters are quite haunting and remind me of figures from Edward Gorey’s work. The lacework detail on the garments are extraordinarily delicate.

Memory Palaces from Edie Fake is a series of pen, ink, and gouache drawings re-envisioning Chicago’s queer history (both real and unreal). Edie’s work centers around creating a queer utopia through his series of drawings, performances and zines. The Memory Palaces series is particularly fantastic, the decadent and art deco-esque facades are quite captivating.
