One painting called "Brainwashing" shows a faucet spewing meaningless rhetoric over an exposed brain. The phrases are taken from an actual speech of Ceausescu's, he delivered in 1989, 3 days after students had been fired on at a anti-govt. protest.

Mark Ryden

In these incredibly surrealistic and whimsical oil paintings, Mark Ryden creates eerie depictions of little girls and creatures - all in pastel. He's been a favorite of mine for years.

Paper Sculptor Megan Brain

Megan Brain is a paper sculptor who works primarily with paper, "cartoon color" cell vinyl, acrylic paint, and strong glue.

matthew bourbon

Matthew Bourbon creates beautiful pieces of people reacting to each other in various scenes and portraits as well. The awesome thing about it is he paints in a painterly way using blotches of color to make up the clothing, faces, and surroundings. He also replaces parts and fills them with vibrant stripes of random color. It creates sense of movement and excitement.

Burning man.art.fun.&.sun.

Burning Man is host to 40 square miles of art, and much of it is sculptural. Once a year, tens of thousands of participants gather in Nevada's Black Rock Desert to create Black Rock City, a community of art, self-expression, and self-reliance. They depart one week later, having left no trace whatsoever. I think that the idea of burning man is great its people creating a whole new world for one week, money is useless at burning man everything is shared and if your not much of a walker they have bikes to get around, I love it and thinking about going next year

Spirit Keepers

"Using a vast array of global textiles and every material or found object imaginable, I build, layer and capture the essence of a 'Spirit Keeper'. My desire is to create an underlying feeling or emotion in each sculpture." -Shelley Rapp Evans

Shelley Evans loves to travel, and when she does she takes little pieces of the places she visits i.e. buttons or small fabrics and brings them back and puts them into her sculptures. A single sculpture contains many different country's small trinkits or fabrics. They seem to always look tribal but as her goal is to make them look like old relics from a museum the tribal look fits well. When I got to see them in person they were about as tall as my arm (maybe a little bigger) and did give different feels with their colors and structure.

Her sculptures can be bought for $2,000 or more.

Reuben Margolin

This is the full vesion.


This is the short version.


Reuben Margolin is a Bay Area visionary who creates totally singular techno-kinetic wave sculptures. Using everything from wood to cardboard to found and salvaged objects, Reubens artwork is diverse, with sculptures ranging from tiny to looming, motorized to hand-cranked. Focusing on natural elements like a discrete water droplet or a powerful ocean eddy, his work is elegant and hypnotic.
