Bad Bish

Just so y'all know where I'm coming from and put my ideas into context- Kiki Smith does it so well. Making gore look damn preddy- simple sculptural ideas representing mortality, nature and in most cases, feminism (of course).

Kiki- daym gurl, you got it.

'Veins and Arteries'

'Shed'

'Red Spill'

Seedy Art

Ai Weiwei in the Tate Modern Turbine Hall:

Not as effective with the seeds cordoned off, but still pretty daym sweet. Wanted to bag me some seeds, but the security dude was diligent and could see the desire in my eyes. Crap thief...

I don't want much in life, but I wanted one o' these oversized porcelaln sunflower seeds..

They're so... Seedy.

Girl Crush

Okay, as previously mentioned I am not afraid to embrace my lezzer tendencies and right now I am totally crushing on a woman... Namely Wangechi Mutu.

I LOVE HER. Saw some of her work in Tate Liverpool, and the more I see the more I totally dig. Working in multi-media (seriously, she chucks everything in there) she creates these gorge fantasy women, varying from the ornate to the grotesque. Themes of fashion, female sexuality and ethnic identity float around in there too, which of course, is always good times!

Splashy colours and gorge women? I'm done.

Chrissy Angliker

So i was procrastinating on the net (portfolio assessment tomorrow- tonnes of work to do) and these liccle gems fell on my screen... Now, anyone that knows me knows that dripping paint floats my boat, and so do tasty faces. Put those two together and i'm DONE. Who needs a man when you can look at pretty pictures... Mmmmm.

It's like chocolate for the eyes...

Eric and Heather ChanShatz... F.I.E.R.C.E. found these at the Saatchi gallery, amongst a load of dreary crap. eye-poppers!

these works are screenprints on silk, with some bits of mirror and stainless steel cracked on there for good measure. to be fair- a computer screen doesnt really do them much justice- these peices were huge and the details were mind-boggling.BOGGLING TO THE MAX.

but look at the pretty colours... mmmmm.

I can't stop looking at...

Laurie Lipton's ilustrations. BEAUT. couldn't be arsed to upload loads of pics, so Google Image search her baby. these few are just ones that caught my eye and i think they relate to my current project (crowds of people). but i just love how dark her drawings are! intricate and beautiful, but fucking dark. peep the one thats got 'ghost of christmas future' fever etched all over it (if you dont understand, Google Image again my friend). creeeeeeep.
